Those are messages that get returned to the sender informing him/her that the vacation was activated (in the case of vacationon.txt) and deactivated (vacationoff.txt).

 

It is just one line inserted into the subject of the return email, “your vacation message has been activated”.

John:

   Firstly.  Thank you for sharing the script with us.  I have a few other questions, if that's okay.  You mentioned that the vacationon and vacationoff users were pointed at specific batch files.  I'd need to know what's in those files to be able to emulate your situation.  The script also mentions "vacationon.txt" and "vacationlog.txt" as well as "errorlog.txt."  I'm assuming the two log files are just output from the program, but what is "vacationon.txt"? 

Thanx again...
-Gil

Here is our script:  http://pub.feddirect.com/vacationon.vbs.txt

 

Please tell me how I can fix it so users do not have their vacations activated by spammers.  Thanx, John

   Would it be possible to get a copy of that script.  It would be very helpful for our users.  This is the first time I've heard that one was available...

Thanx...

We have a script that is supposed to enable vacation for the sender, and include their message as the vacation message.  Lately, we have seen spammers sending to our vacation address and if they cc a real user, the script activates the vacation message for the real user, sending the spam message to all who write her!  Does anyone out there use this same script (I think it came from imail years ago) and have a solution for this?  Thanks.

 

John
