Overview:
VacationEmail is a simplified GUI tool to allow inexperienced computer users to configure their Solaris UNIX POP email server to send automatic reply emails while they are away. This programme configures the files required for the Solaris '/usr/bin/vacation' application without the user having to understand telnet clients, shell variables or vi editors. The vacation email service can also be disabled using this application.
VacationEmail is available for 68k, PowerMacintosh and Win32 clients.
This demo application works only once per client. The demo application, once disabled, only allows vacation email to be turned off.
The checkbox 'Use Alias Database' enables the alias information from /etc/aliases to be included in the configuration .forward file, as required by some sites that implement different email addresses and login account names.
