The program dies with error 1. And it also prints: "vacation: .vacation.db: Success" in the logs for every next email. I have a really default RHEL5 install with postfix + dovecot + squirrelmail (+ mimedefang). I’m getting problems with vacation but only after a few days of use. The program dies with error 1.

Some MUA's read subject and content correctly but some others don't. There is no Subject: =?UTF-8?Q? and the other MIME specific strings. @Dennis -Vacation just works on CentOS. I run it on CentOS 5.3 x86 and x86_64 as well, Roundcube 3.1, PHP 5.2.10, Dovecot and Postfix standard distro version. You just have to issue a command: yum install gdbm-devel. Moreover you have to install developpers tools like gcc, make, etc. @Chris – Now vacation works quite well but I have encoding problem.

Note that Debian/Ubuntu use a completely different version of vacation, so for issues with that version you'd need to check with them.

It autoreplied because it got past the recipients spam filters. Vacation has no way of knowing whether or not what you were sent was spam or real email! @Rafal – the -a option should work for aliases, and as @orinoco mentioned you’ll need to test from multiple addresses otherwise further responses will have been suppressed for your source email address.

So always test it with different sender addresses. I found the solution. vacation works perfectly and it does not send a autoreply twice to the same sender address.

I'm looking for a workaround too. Same problem with aliases/virtual users in postifx here. vavation only works with the login, not virtual users. I’m looking for a workaround too.
