Don't use preline and vacation together. I know I keep saying this,
but it's true!
If you use qmail's preline utility, remember that preline expects
to pipe the entire mail message through the specified program. If
the specified program closes standard input before preline has
finished, preline will exit with a transient failure and you'll see
the following error in your logs:
deferral: preline:_fatal:_unable_to_copy_input:_broken_pipe/
You'll see this problem if you try to use the sendmail version of
vacation.
It may not happen every time, but for large messages you will see that
behaviour.
That's why I wrote the qmail-vacation package.
