Welcome to LQ. A detailed example is available in the procmailex man page, but you might as well use vacation, instead.

I installed vacation RPM and create .forward and .vacation.msg file in Home Directory of User. After it Run vacation -I command.

For example, your .forward file might have:

\javed, "|/usr/bin/vacation javed"

in your home directory. Vacation expects a file .vacation.msg, in your home directory, containing a message to be sent back to each sender. It should be an entire message. For example, it might contain:

From: Javed dogar
Subject: I am out off office.

Sorry, but I cannot read your email message. I am on holiday
Please contact my friends for any issue or 0333-4045603.

But unfortunately,can't get autoreply. Please provide me any link about complete detail of vacation tool.

Do you get any messages in your logs?

Thanks for help, I solved my problem through below mentioned detail; My problem was in rpm package, I download new package from below mentioned site; Now it is working.

Vacation doesn't come included as standard with most linux distros. You can get the rpm at
http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rp...2.6-1.i386.rpm

" Login with required user, like su - javed
" Run vacation command, like $vacation without interactive switch -I, now it will automatically create .forward and .vacation.msg file. Edit msg file as per requirement.
" Now run command $vacation -I to activate the changes.
" By default auto reply to one sender one time weekly. For further detail see man vacation.
