- I think the mailtool has at least to read the .forward file to check
- wether your vacation-program is enabled or not. The vacation-program
- automatically sends anyone a short message ( "I am on vacation..." etc.)
- who sends you a mail while it is enabled. Try "man vacation" if you want
- more information about this.
