-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B Vacation
-returns a message,
-.IR ~/.vacation.msg
-by default, to the sender informing them that you are currently not
-reading your mail.
-The message is only sent to each sender once per reply interval (see
-.B \-r
-below).
-The intended use is in a
-.I .forward
-file. For example, your
-.I .forward
-file might have:
-.IP
-\eeric, "|/usr/bin/vacation -a allman eric"
-.PP
-which would send messages to you (assuming your login name was eric) and
-reply to any messages for
-``eric''
-or
-``allman''.
-.PP
-Available options:
-.TP
-.BI \-a " alias"
-Handle messages for
-.I alias
-in the same manner as those received for the user's
-login name.
-.TP
-.BI \-C " cfpath"
-Specify pathname of the sendmail configuration file.
-This option is ignored if
-.B \-U
-is specified.
-This option defaults to the standard sendmail configuration file,
-located at /etc/mail/sendmail.cf on most systems.
-.TP
-.B \-d
-Send error/debug messages to stderr instead of syslog.
-Otherwise, fatal errors, such as calling
-.B vacation
-with incorrect arguments, or with non-existent
-.IR login s,
-are logged in the system log file, using
-syslog(8).
-This should only be used on the command line, not in your
-.I .forward
-file.
-.TP
-.BI \-f " filename"
-Use
-.I filename
-as name of the database instead of
-.IR ~/.vacation.db
-or
-.IR ~/.vacation.{dir,pag} .
-Unless the
-.I filename
-starts with / it is relative to ~.
-.TP
-.B \-i
-Initialize the vacation database files. It should be used
-before you modify your
-.I .forward
-file.
-This should only be used on the command line, not in your
-.I .forward
-file.
-.TP
-.B \-I
-Same as
-.B \-i
-(for backwards compatibility).
-This should only be used on the command line, not in your
-.I .forward
-file.
-.TP
-.B \-l
-List the content of the vacation database file including the address
-and the associated time of the last auto-response to that address.
-This should only be used on the command line, not in your
-.I .forward
-file.
-.TP
-.BI \-m " filename"
-Use
-.I filename
-as name of the file containing the message to send instead of
-.IR ~/.vacation.msg .
-Unless the
-.I filename
-starts with / it is relative to ~.
-.TP
-.BI \-r " interval"
-Set the reply interval to
-.I interval
-days. The default is one week.
-An interval of ``0'' or
-``infinite''
-(actually, any non-numeric character) will never send more than
-one reply.
-The
-.B \-r
-option should only be used when the vacation database is initialized
-(see
-.B \-i
-above).
-.TP
-.BI \-s " address"
-Use
-.I address
-instead of the incoming message sender address on the
-.I From
-line as the recipient for the vacation message.
-.TP
-.BI \-t " time"
-Ignored, available only for compatibility with Sun's
-vacation program.
-.TP
-.B \-U
-Do not attempt to lookup
-.I login
-in the password file.
-The -f and -m options must be used to specify the database and message file
-since there is no home directory for the default settings for these options.
-.TP
-.B \-x
-Reads an exclusion list from stdin (one address per line).
-Mails coming from an address
-in this exclusion list won't get a reply by
-.BR vacation .
-It is possible to exclude complete domains by specifying
-``@domain''
-as element of the exclusion list.
-This should only be used on the command line, not in your
-.I .forward
-file.
-.TP
-.B \-z
-Set the sender of the vacation message to
-``<>''
-instead of the user.
-This probably violates the RFCs since vacation messages are
-not required by a standards-track RFC to have a null reverse-path.
-.PP
-.B Vacation
-reads the first line from the standard input for a
-UNIX
-``From''
-line to determine the sender.
-Sendmail(8)
-includes this
-``From''
-line automatically.
-.PP
-No message will be sent unless
-.I login
-(or an
-.I alias
-supplied using the
-.B \-a
-option) is part of either the
-``To:''
-or
-``Cc:''
-headers of the mail.
-No messages from
-``???-REQUEST'',
-``???-RELAY'',
-``???-OWNER'',
-``OWNER-???'',
-``Postmaster'',
-``UUCP'',
-``MAILER'',
-or
-``MAILER-DAEMON''
-will be replied to (where these strings are
-case insensitive) nor is a notification sent if a
-``Precedence: bulk''
-or
-``Precedence: junk''
-line is included in the mail headers.
-The people who have sent you messages are maintained as a
-db(3)
-or
-dbm(3)
-database in the file
-.I .vacation.db
-or
-.I .vacation.{dir,pag}
-in your home directory.
-.PP
-.B Vacation
-expects a file
-.IR .vacation.msg ,
-in your home directory, containing a message to be sent back to each
-sender. It should be an entire message (including headers). For
-example, it might contain:
-.IP
-.nf
-From: eric@CS.Berkeley.EDU (Eric Allman)
-Subject: I am on vacation
-Delivered-By-The-Graces-Of: The Vacation program
-Precedence: bulk
-
-I am on vacation until July 22. If you have something urgent,
-please contact Keith Bostic <bostic@CS.Berkeley.EDU>.
