Hi,

I've a little problem with my vacation solution. Sometimes senders receive a

Command died with status 255: "/usr/bin/maildrop". Command output: maildrop: error writing to mailbox.

from someone being on vacation. But they also receive the vacation message. It seems, gdbmstore sometimes fails as those senders are not written to '.vacation.dat'.

Any suggestions? Is there a way to prevent such bounces?

Cheers,
