This is my vacation.rc file that I found on the net. When a message is sent
with the password and vacation on it executes and creates the vacation
message and all that. However if someone sends an email to the user they do
not get the auto reply. I'm really new to procmail so I don' t even know
what to look for.
Thanks

# User-managed vacation recipe for procmail
# Written by Jason Thaxter
# (http://www.google.com/search?q=jason+thaxter)
# * Include this file in the procmail file.
# * Set $VACATION_PASSWORD. (for security, this is mandatory)
# * Define $VACATION_SENDER in your procmail recipe: it will be "from"
this
# address.
# * E-mail a message with $VACATION_PASSWORD and $VACATION_ON in the
subject
# line. The body of the message becomes the vacation message.
$VACATION_ON
# can be set prior to the INCLUDERC, but it defaults to "vacation on".
# * To turn it off, e-mail a message with $VACATION_PASSWORD and
$VACATION_OFF
# in the subject line. Likewise, $VACATION_OFF defaults to "vacation
off".
# Note that you probably want this to execute *after* any mailing list or
spam
# delivery recipes. You can set $VACATION_SKIP to disable vacation
processing
# if it's inconvenient to skip this recipe.
