>We have a sendmail server that has about 5000 accounts.  The users do not log in except for a few admins.  I have set the users shells to /sbin/nologin.  I have some users that want auto responders for their email addresses.  I have been using the vacation program in conjunction with the .forward files.  This causes a problem since the vacation program needs a valid shell.  I have allowed logons to those few users.  I do not like this approach.  Is there a way to not allow user logins and use vacation.  We are using sendmail 12.2.2

/usr/ports/mail/procmail provides a vacation replacement -- and does not 
need a valid shell.
