~/.procmail is the solution without any other tools/scripts and so on.
Best quick'n dirty solution for me ;-)

# cat .procmailrc
SHELL=/bin/sh
Sent_To = `formail -xTo: | expand | sed -e 's/^[ ]*//g' -e 's/[ ]*$//g'`

:0 Whc: vacation.lock
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^X-Loop: ${Sent_To}
| formail -rD 8192 vacation.cache

# Only run this rule if the last rule didn't match, meaning it will only 
mail each
# user once.

:0 ehc         # if the name was not in the cache
| (formail -rA"Precedence: junk" \
    -A"X-Loop: ${Sent_To}" ; \
cat $HOME/.vacation.message; \
echo ""; \
echo "-- "; cat $HOME/.signature \
) | $SENDMAIL -oi -t -f "${Sent_To}"

thanks
