In fact it's no compiler bug (I only discovered it by changing the compiler options) but a problem in vacation.c. -Andre ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

No, I have a workaround. Do you have the sources to compile vacation yourself? Can you recompile it without -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing and try again?

Hi, Check your permissions on the the .forward file - should not be world or group writable as far as I can remember. Also, you haven't specified and alias in your vacation command, so only mails addressed to alydio...@domain will be forwarded - could this be the problem?

Re: Freebsd Built-in vacation program does not auto reply
Thanks Odhiambo for your time. Actually i have a working vacation program from freebsd ports (/usr/ports/mail/vacation). I only wondering why the freebsd base vacation behave differently I still want freebsd base vacation... the one from ports is obsolete (as per its maintainer website) and sometime i need to edit its makefile for it to compile Thanks again. --- On Fri, 4/17/09, Odhiambo Washington wrote: From: Odhiambo Washington Subject: Re: Freebsd Built-in vacation program does not auto reply To: alydi...@yahoo.com Cc: "Steve Bertrand" , freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Friday, April 17, 2009, 8:10 PM On Fri, Apr 17, 2009 at 2:47 PM, lyd mc wrote: hi, I don't know how to run it in debug mode I already try this one. #/usr/bin/vacation -d alydio.mc but nothing happened... no logs in /var/log/message and /var/log/maillog pertaining to vacation.

Wow... wait a sec... I recall years ago having to deal with 'vacation' messages along with sendmail, and with thousands of users, I hated doing it manually. Perhaps a ``how I do it'' is warranted here. It is quite apparent that the OP has RTFM, _and_ tried to work it out for himself... I was waiting for the OP to say that he actually did run `vacation -i` first, as that is a requirement.

Perhaps a ``how I do it'' is warranted here. It is quite apparent that the OP has RTFM, _and_ tried to work it out for himself... Off the top of my head, here is what I had to do to create a vacation message. Perhaps sendmail folk could help me out here: Run the following command to initialize the vacation db: # vacation -i ...now, put your content into a file called ".vacation.msg" in the user's home directory. The data could resemble something like this: From: m...@email.address (Steve Bertrand) Subject: Out of office Delivered-By-The-Graces-Of: The Vacation program Precedence: bulk I will be out of the office for the rest of my life.
