        !            30: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            31: \fIVacation\fP returns a message to the sender of a message telling
        !            32: them that you are currently not reading your mail.  The intended use
        !            33: is in a \fI.forward\fP file.  For example, your \fI.forward\fP file
        !            34: might have:
        !            35: .PP
        !            36: .ti +5
        !            37: \eeric, "|/usr/ucb/vacation -a allman eric"
        !            38: .PP
        !            39: which would send messages to you (assuming your login name was eric) and
        !            40: reply to any messages for ``eric'' or ``allman''.
        !            41: .PP
        !            42: No message will be sent unless \fIlogin\fP or an \fIalias\fP supplied
        !            43: using the \fB-a\fP option is a substring of either the ``To:'' or ``Cc:''
        !            44: headers of the mail.  No messages from ``???-REQUEST'', ``Postmaster'',
        !            45: ``UUCP'', ``MAILER'', or ``MAILER-DAEMON'' will be replied to, nor is a
        !            46: notification sent if a ``Precedence: bulk'' or ``Precedence: junk'' line
        !            47: is included in the mail headers.  Only one message per week will be sent
        !            48: to each unique sender.  The people who have sent you messages are
        !            49: maintained as an \fIndbm\fP(3) database in the files \fI.vacation.pag\fP
        !            50: and \fI.vacation.dir\fP in your home directory.
        !            51: .PP
        !            52: The \fB-i\fP flag initializes the vacation database files.  It should be
        !            53: used before you modify your \fI.forward\fP file.
        !            54: .PP
        !            55: \fIVacation\fP expects a file \fI.vacation.msg\fP, in your home directory,
        !            56: containing a message to be sent back to each sender.  It should be an entire
        !            57: message (including headers).  For example, it might say:
        !            58: .PP
        !            59: .in +5
        !            60: .nf

        !            65: 
        !            66: I am on vacation until July 22.  If you have something urgent,

        !            72: \fIVacation\fP reads the first line from the standard input for

        !            74: \fISendmail\fP(8) includes this ``From'' line automatically.
