after intensive debugging i found the reason for the problem described

does anyone know a solution without setting the login shell to  
something else than /bin/false?
or does someone know a different procmail rule for vacation?

What David Tamkin said:

  SHELL = /bin/sh

in /etc/procmailrc or wherever.
