  Anyone have any suggestions on how (if possible) to use both "filter" and
a "vacation" (or equivalent) program?  What should the .forward file look
like?  With "filter", the .forward file looks like this:

"| /util/bin/filter -o /usr/users/brooks/.elm/filter_errors"

I currently let "filter" save mail messages from a couple of mailing lists
to the appropriate folders.  However, I don't need "vacation" to send the
mailing lists a response that I'm on vacation.

Anyone done this (use "filter" and a vacation program at the same time)?
Any hints/tips/etc. would be appreciated.
