Vacation is an autoresponder; it will send a message only once
and then make a record in its database file to not send again to
the same address for some configurable amount of time.

The database is initialized with "vacation -i". To examine the
database, you may use

    postmap -s .vacation | less

This will show the addresses and the (binary) time stamps. Once
an address is in there Postfix won't autoreply to it for a while.
