Hi Carlos, first of all thank you for being helpful and submitting this as an improvement to our system. FreeBSD really depends on this sort of helpfulness from its users and we always appreciate receiving reports about fixes, corrections or new features :) Note though that we use the vacation(1) manpage from the Sendmail distribution. You may have to contact the Sendmail developers and ask that they make this change in their own, central Sendmail source tree. Then, when a more modern version of Sendmail is imported in our source tree, the fix will come back to us too. The contact addressess for the Sendmail team are listed in their web page, at: http://www.sendmail.org/email-addresses.html#EMAILADDRESSES If you think that contacting the Sendmail team is too much trouble for you (i.e. you don't have the time right now), let me know and I will do it myself. Thanks again for your help! Regards, Giorgos
