Try This:
#Autoresponder.....instead of VACATION!
## Avoid e-mail loops and accept mail from lists I am subscribed to.

This way, you have a log of all people this message is sent to appended to
a file $HOME/autobot.log and also you have a folder called CHANGE where
the messages that were sent to you are kept.
Please feel free to contact me in case of problem with the above.
HTH
NB: Create the file CHANGE in your defined Mail directory. Also do
touch autobot.log in your home directory!!
