Are you using a version that supports aliases, and did you supply the
aliases when you set the vacation notice?

Not all systems use an aliases.db file, not all aliases are in the aliases.db
file, not all aliases.db files are formated the same, it might parse it
wrong and start replying to distribution lists, etc.

Seems risky at best to rely on this.  Wouldn't work for me, as some of my
aliases are in

I think that version supports aliases, but I'm not sure.  Did you specify
them when setting the vacation notice?  Did you check to see if they got
saved correctly in your .forward-file/database/whatever?
