Hi all, thanks to Kevin Prigge <klp@msi.umn.edu> "Brad Morrison" <brad.morrison@gmail.com> It appears that vacation is part of the sendmail package. Since I had removed the original Solaris package I reinstalled from blastwave and got this tool. However, it worked not as expected/documented ($SUBJECT was not replaced, disabling sendmail service had no effect. The sendmail process was kept alive anyway,...), so I finally decided to throw the blastwave sendmail package away as well - I am using postfix - and instead wrote my own vacation program in Objective-C that reads from stdin, decodes the multimime mail, extracts subject, body, from, to,... and then sends out the autoreply message via "/usr/lib/sendmail -t". This took me only half an hour and gives me the maximum flexibilty. I wrote another small gui application that allows the user to comfortably fill .forward with stuff like \<username>, \"|/opt/GNUstep/Local/Tools/vacation <username>" and .vacation.msg with the message. Works great and all users are happy now! Thanks a lot! Regards, Andreas >> this is probably a newbie question, but I am stuck nonetheless.
