In response to requests for the "vacation" program:  "vacation" seems
to be standard in the Berkeley Unix release (try the man page to see
if you have it.)  Also, here is a message I received  from Tim
Theisen:

bsd sources.
You can find it on ftp.uu.net in the directory bsd-sources/usr.bin/vacation.
It keeps track of addresses and only responds once per week.  The time is
settable.  It does not respond to mail from root, MAILER-DEMON, etc.  It
only repsonds to mail explicitly to you.  It replies with a message that
you have constructed which can have whatever special headers you desire.

Hope this helps, ...Tim
