Im playing on different dbtypes on conf.php and it
wont work. I only work when I use the .vacation.db
generated by vavation -i.

file .vavation.db report something like this:
Berkeley DB (Hash, version 7, native byte-order)

Actually this is only a temporary solution coz I need
my vacation to work before xmas :) but if the final
solution comes out I should change this asap.

I have one question, Does the vacation send a
notification only once? Im not really experience with
vacation but from what Ive found I only got one
notification from that user eventhough i send more
that one email to it. Just curious :)

Thanks,
glynn
