I am having trouble using the vacation program. Specifically, I am getting the error: vacation: Missing Initial From Header I have a .vacation.msg file that does contain the From header, and besides, the doc on vacation says one will be inserted if not. I have a .vacation.dir, .pag, and a .forward file. Upon executing the program though, I am receiving my error. Does anyone have experience with vacation that can help me. Thanx in advance. Keith D.

According to saroff@jvncf.UUCP (Steve Saroff lac00001): >This is pretty simple, but how do I set up a vacation notification for >mail? If you've on a BSD system, you have a vacation program already. Otherwise, you might want to get the Deliver program, written by yours truly. It runs shell script(s) at message delivery time; those shell scripts can do just about anything you want, including send vacation notices. In fact, Deliver 2.0 (STILL in the c.s.u queue!) includes a complete vacation notice script as a sample. Anyone who really wants Deliver 2.0 and can't wait for Rich $alz to get back to his _real_ job [:-) Rich], drop me a line. -- You may redistribute this article only to those who may freely do likewise.
