Put the following into the .procmailrc for the user. Note that it comes from
the procmailex man page...
SHELL=/bin/sh
:0 Whc: vacation.lock
# Perform a quick check to see if the mail was addressed to us
* $^To:.*${LOGNAME}
# Don't reply to daemons and mailinglists
* !^FROM_DAEMON
# Mail loops are evil
* !^X-Loop: ${LOGNAME}@your_system_here
| formail -rD 8192 vacation.cache
:0 ehc # if the name was not in the cache
| (formail -rA"Precedence: junk" \
-A"X-Loop: $LOGNAME@your_system_here" -i"Subject: $LOGNAME is away"; \
cat $HOME/vacation.msg ; \
cat $HOME/.signature 2>/dev/null\
) | $SENDMAIL -oi -t
