Manual Vacation Message Setup

EVERYONE should use webmail for controlling their vacation messaging.

Sometimes on account of user laziness, lack of planning or plain obstinacy, manual vacation setup becomes necessary.

In this case,

Become root on the appropriate mailserver:
Go to /home/username
Modify the .procmailrc_holiday file
Add the correct atq commands as follows:

at "Date and Time for vacation message to start"

/root/bin/vac_on
CTRL-D

at "Date and Time for vacation message to stop"

/root/bin/vac_off
CTRL-D
