Vacation doesnt come included as standard with most linux distros. You can get the rpm at
http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rpms/vacation-1.2.6-1.i386.rpm 

If you want to setup autoreplay for yourself, you do:
vacation -I
then following the screen instatruction and fill in the information.

To disable the auto-reply, just remove the .forward file under the  home dir.

If you want more details, have a look at:

http://www.udel.edu/topics/e-mail/vacation-only.html

man vacation

If you want to setit up for other users:
cd ~login-name
su - login-name -c vacation -I

then following the screen instatruction and fill in the information.

To disable the auto-reply, just remove the .forward file under the usr's home dir.

Iam already did this same vacation configuration on my linux server.But .vacation.db is not creating by default.And it also working with one user account only.I did the same to another user is not working .
Did you type in:

vacation -I

To initialize your vacation setup?

In your version of vercation, it might be:

vacation -i

man vacation to find it out
If youhave it, you could rather easily set a procmail rule to act as an autoresponder...
Just remember that well-nigh all autoresponders are evil:-).
