The vacation module is just an interface for configuring your (assumed
to be) existing vacation software.  It does not provide the vacation
software/process itself, just a way to configure your vacation software
via the web.

You might look at the ingo modules instead (http://www.horde.org/ingo/).

Nor do we, since we don't know your system, and if you even have any
vacation support installed.

Seems strange if you use postfix and not exim?

What service are you starting?

Well, the vacation module's job is to configure it (make it look fine in the
database as you say), not to actually send the vacation messages...

My guess would be you are using the wrong driver... I don't know if
postfix supports the .forward file system -- if so you might try that.

Unfortunately I don't use postfix, and don't know anything about it
or if it has vacation or .forward support...

But I might also recommend you look at ingo instead, as it is more
"modern" software and better supported...
