In addition to modifying user.c (vacation messages) to use new option, I also increased the number of messages the autoresponder can receive from a unique e-mail address before it defers additional messages. I also reduced the amount of time funtil the number is reset rom 24 hours to 12. I did this because many offices have people sending multiple e-mails a day to an account with a vacation autoresponder.
