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.
