I am doing this for a client who is going out of the country shortly!!
I have followed the instractions on the vacation manual .I included this linbe in .forward file: \cliff, "|/usr/home/cliff/vacation.msg -a allman"
I also edited the .vacation.msg where I put the message but the mail bounces back with an error message that the email address has a permanent fatal error!
pls advice!
