The '-a' (alias) option to vacation may help you. For example: if you are
directing mail for <any> at example.com to ex12345, then you can use

\ex12345, "|/usr/bin/vacation -a example.com ex12345"

This should respond to mails where the To: line matches 'example.com', which
includes
To: anything at example.com

If vacation is generating an error message into /var/log/maillog, please
post the exact error to the list.

Regards,

Brian.
