Another change to vacation.php:

function unset_vacation($user, $realm, $pass) {
        $myFile = $this->write_temp_file("| /usr/bin/procmail ~/.procmailrc");
        if (! $this->ftp_copy_file($user, $realm, $pass, $myFile, ".qmail") )
             return false;

        if (! $this->ftp_delete_file($user, $realm, $pass, ".vacation.msg") ) 
            return false;
        // we could, but don't, check for errors on these...
        // they are more-or-less harmless without the above two files...
        $this->ftp_delete_file($user, $realm, $pass, ".vacation.pag");
        $this->ftp_delete_file($user, $realm, $pass, ".vacation.dir");
        $this->ftp_delete_file($user, $realm, $pass, ".vacation.db");
        return true;

I did this so when I remove vacation it puts the proper procmail call in .qmail
This works great.  I can enable the vacation and it work, then disable it and 
procmail works.  The only problem is that without the procmail call when 
vacation is enabled I don't get a copy of the email they send--it gets 
discarded then the vacation message is sent to the sender.  I simply need to 
know how to make 2 lines in the .qmail file.
thanks,
Nate
