Mike, you do realize that the Vacation script only replies once.

It will not reply multiple times to the same address.  Idea is you tell the 
user _ONCE_ that you are on vacation, not 500x.

If you set it up with the mailing list for example, each message you get 
would reply with a vacation message.

So if there was 25messages on the info-cyrus list, there would be 25 
vacation replies.  Thus doubling the list.  Chances are the vacation 
replies would also get posted and vacationed again creating an infinate 
loop, getting yourself permently ejected from said list.

The Vacation Sieve script is simple and your setting it up right.

What your looking for is a automatic response which as you said you got 
once, and it wont give it to you again.

Does this help any?
