I believe .qmail files have something do do with it.

From my understanding, you put one of these files in the users home directory and basically pipe all messages to an autoresponder program. (check freshmeat.net for one).

Have a look at the qmail docco, I think it goes into some detail re: autoresponders.

http://www.qmail.org (although not the official site, it is quite usefull)

Yes, there is a e-smith vacation add-on developed by Daniel van Raay. You can read more about that at http://linux.made-to-order.net/

Also, it's possible (but not recommended!) to install the vacation program for Qmail, edit the actual users ~/.qmail file and add the line

| /usr/local/bin/vacation username

to the bottom of that file.

Then you'll have to create a ~/.vacation.msg file.

I've done it and it works, but an add-on module would be preferable.

I am created the file above and run, but the message replyed to sender is in blank.

my .vacation.msg file is :

Subjet: No estoy en la Oficina

Regreso en 15 días

my .qmail file is:

./Maildir/
| /usr/bin/vacation ventas

/home/e-smith/files/users/ventas
