[ingo] vacation and procmail problem

[Markus Krause]

Hi List,

after intensive debugging i found the reason for the problem described  
below: to prevent users from logging in directly to our mail server  
all shells for the users are set to /bin/false. but obviously sendmail  
needs a real shell.

does anyone know a solution without setting the login shell to  
something else than /bin/false?
or does someone know a different procmail rule for vacation?

thanks in advance for any help!

regards
   markus
