It works that way. Vacation module uses FTP and has no way to know if 
the vacation message is set (before connecting and sending 
username/password). There's been discussion about changing this 
behaviour, but atleast when using FTP it could introduce some security 
and possible other problems.

Yes. You must install vacation binary. See if it's included with your 
distribution or search and download it from the Net.
