Vacation mail configuration in linux
Is the any tool for vacation mail or automail reply tool for linx.Now Iam using vacation mail in linux is not working properly.
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:

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.

In your version of vercation, it might be:
vacation -i
man vacation to find it out
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:-).
