Not really. Everyone that emails a user with a vacation message services
turned on, will get one auto reply . Then he gets whitelisted for (I think)
eight days by getting added to a database that is kept in the users home
directory. This database is in DB3 format.
Unless you hack a little Perl script together to automatically add whitelisted
addresses to that database, it won't work.
In any case: Vacation messages are crap. They're a leftover from the "good old
days" of the internet and nowadays are more troublesome than anything else.
