The following would work (I reckon) on a Qube.
After using the GUI to set up the vacation, edit the line 
in /etc/aliases that looks something like

username:     username,"/sbin/vacation/whatever....."

and change it to 

username:     "/sbin/vacation/whatever....."

The mail won't "bounce" as such, as it gets "delivered"
to the vacation script.  If you need it to actually bounce,
perhaps having

username:     invalid_username,"/sbin/vacation/whatever....."

would work.
