sendmail + vacation = error
My boss asked me if I could setup autoreply for his email while he is on vacation. I never did this before but I found vacation software and installed. It is pretty straight forward.
#I logged as boss
#and I created new file
/home/boss/.vacation.msg
#it is pretty simple
Subject: "$SUBJECT"
----
Message
#after that I made
/home/boss/.forward
cat /home/boss/forward
\boss, "|/usr/bin/vacation boss"
--
# And finnaly did
vacantion -I
