assuming vacation is https://www.unix.com/man-page/all/1/vacation/ it relies on .forward processing to operate so the transport for your mail must in all cases include .forward processing. also vacation checks the to header and does not respond if it thinks the email was not addressed to you - this prevents messing up mailing lists and the like. you many need to add somethig like -a [email protected] to the vacation command-line in your .forward file -- When I tried casting out nines I made a hash of it. -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
