If ":seconds 0" is specified and used, it means that all auto-replies
   are sent, and no attempt is made to suppress consecutive replies.
   This differs from the base vacation specification, which does not
   allow a time period of zero (":days 0" is forbidden); the change is
   necessary to allow operation of an auto-responder (see [RFC6133], and
   note especially example 4 in section 3 of that document).

   If ":seconds" and ":days" are both omitted, a site-defined interval
   is used (see [RFC5230]).

   Usage: vacation [":days" number | ":seconds" number]
                   [":subject" string]
                   [":from" string]
                   [":addresses" string-list]
                   [":mime"]
                   [":handle" string]
                   <reason: string>
