HI,

Suddenly out of the blue..my vacation feature on my mail server stopped working. I being the sys guy am suppoed to create auto response vacation replis for my office employees, and its not working at all.
I have tried removing the .forward and all the .vacation files and then typing just vacation. It asks me to view my vacation.msg, and then enables the vacation. But when I mail myself from an outside account such as yahoo or hjotmail, I do not get the auto-response..
I even tried updateding the patchlist on Sendmail thinking that might be my problem, bu then my sendmail did not work..It gave the following error:
-------------------------
554 5.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 285: settimeout: invalid timeout aconnect
554 5.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 315: settimeout: invalid timeout lhlo
554 5.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 316: settimeout: invalid timeout auth
Warning: Option: AuthMechanisms requires SASL support (-DSASL)
554 5.0.0 Warning: .cf version level (10) exceeds sendmail version 8.11.7+Sun fu
nctionality (9)
--------------------------
I removed the patch and now have my sendmail working, but vacation is dead!!!...Please help..
