[plug] Vacation files.

[Jonathon Bates]

hey guys,
I have just a quick question in regards to a vacation file I want to set
up.
Obviosuly I firstly issue thee command 
# vacation -i
(creates the .vacation.db file.)
Then I create a .forward file with the following:
 \batesy, "|/usr/bin/vacation -a Bates Jonathon"

I then create a .vaction.msg file
"I am not here"

Now when I goto send a message I get the following bounced message:
(please ignore the blahski, its just something I was playing with)
(i get the bounced message irrespective of the username...)

The original message was received at Sat, 16 Sep 2000 19:21:02 +0800
