You do realise that if vacation sends a successful reply it will not
send another one to the same address for a week. This is overridden by
the command line option -t. From the man page.
-tN Change the interval between repeat replies to the
same sender. The default is 1 week. A trailing s,
m, h, d, or w scales the number N to seconds,
minutes, hours, days or weeks respectively. For
example, to set the interval value to 3 days you
would specify -t3d. There should be no spaces
between the -t and N. This option is only useful
when specified in the ~/.qmail file.
So, if you're trying to generate a vacation message for every reply
then the lowest granularity you can have is one second.
What's in your .qmail file? If you use the default setup
| /usr/local/bin/vacation username
/home/psamuel/mailbox
you'll get replies once a week. If you use this
| /usr/local/bin/vacation -t1s username
/home/psamuel/mailbox
You'll get replies once per second.
