[NTLUG:Discuss] vacation foo

[Jay Urish]

Hey yall,
I need a jab in the right direction...
I am trying to get the vacation program to work under postfix.

when I send a mail to the account in question, it bounces back a message 
but still gets delivered..
here is what I get

This is the Postfix program at host mail.rdlsupply.com.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that the message returned
below could not be delivered to one or more destinations.

For further assistance, please send mail to <postmaster>

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can

What is this unknown database error??? Any ideas? Do I need to hack the 
vacation proggy to work under postfix? The only way I could get it to work 
was to grab the latest sendmail tarball, compile and put the vacation 
binary in /usr/bin
