First I did "vacation -i", and it created ~/.vacation.db (64KB). The home directory is 0755. I created the following .vacation.msg, 0644: From: thierry@domain.com Subject: Out of the office Out of the office. Then in /etc/mail/aliases I put thierry: "|/usr/bin/vacation thierry", thierry I still get messages delivered to me, but the vacation program does not want to work: ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- "|/usr/bin/vacation thierry" (reason: data format error) (expanded from: ) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- vacation: .vacation: Permission denied 501 5.6.0 Data format error Whats with ".vacation: permission denied"? Is .vacation supposed to exist? I could not find any reference to this. My maillog shows basically the same thing as above. Im using sendmail plus cyrus for lacal delivery. thierry _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
