Yeah, that's what I do also.

Given that users are unable to run a command-line program like "vacation" 
nowadays a web based interface such as vacation-web is what Piers probably 
needs.  Whether vacation-web works as is desired is the issue.

For my clients the number of vacation requests has been small enough that it's 
easier to just have them email or SMS me when they want it set up.

Fedora/RHEL use the port of the 386bsd vacation program, the maintainer of 
which you may be familiar with (not that I've had to do much maintenance 
recently!).

http://www.csamuel.org/software/vacation

The Debian one is nice too, I actually use that on my home VM as it's Debian 
based. :-)

cheers,
Chris

On debian, there is also:

$ apt-cache search vacation
...
vacation - email autoresponder

If that's the same one I used more than 20 years ago, it auto-responds
only to the first mail received from each correspondent, to avoid
annoyance. Where/how it keeps the correspondents list may have changed
over the decades, perhaps.

Back in the day, vacation would create .forward, and run
vi vacation.msg
What more could one want?

Never tried it, but I just found this with a quick search:

http://vacation-web.sourceforge.net/

Best of luck!
