Unlike Sendmail, there's typically only one Postfix instance with
MailScanner. Incoming mail is placed in the hold queue and MailScanner
picks it up, processes it and requeues it in the incoming queue. See
<https://www.mailscanner.info/postfix/>.

You would need to get Postfix to put the vacation notice in the hold
queue instead of sending it. I don't offhand know how to do that if it
is even possible.
