I am 99% sure that it does in my testing with 8.13.3 and 8.13.5 but I'm
trying to figure out sendmail logging weirdness as well.

For example:

tail /var/log/maillog -f | grep -i vacation

run vacation from the prompt with no params.

You'll probably see:

Jan  5 12:30:49 intel1 vacation[22479]: uid 0: usage: vacation [-a alias]
[-C cfpath] [-d] [-f db] [-i] [-j] [-l] [-m msg] [-R returnaddr] [-r
interval] [-s sender] [-t time] [-U] [-x] [-z] login

Create a .forward and .vacation.msg file on a user called test.  Put in:

\test, "|vacation"

or |/usr/adm/sm.bin/vacation or whatever works on your system

I would expect to get the same error but I don't and in fact I never get any
vacation logs.

Any thoughts?  Is sendmail just wacky on logging?
