IIRC, ".vacation.msg" should live in each user's 
home directory.  ".forward" is responsible for 
actually enabling 'vacation' for any particular 
user.  The format for including the subject and 
sender, at least, is simply:

From: "Alfred E. Neuman" <aeneuman@mycompany.com>
Subject: Out of Office

at the top of ".vacation.msg".
