Is 'fred' a valid user name? And not an alias? I have had this problem when
I put an alias in .vacation. My .vacation looks like this and it works fine:

\username, "|/usr/bin/vacation username"

I don't think so. My vacation is working fine without having done any thing
to sendmail. I assume that you have 'local' and 'smtp' specified as mailers
in your sendmail!

Hope this helps.
