Karl,
I did that and it still is giving me problems...... After I ran that command
and tested the .forward the syslog reported that the vacation program was
denied permission to write to /var/spool/mqueue. I changed group permissions
and re-initialized the .vacation.db and the permission issue dissapeared but
I am back to where I started which is the syslog shows sent but no
vacation message.
