Sieve logging - Vacations failing

I wrote last week about a problem I've been having with the "reply" and
"vacation" type sieve filters, but found that I was incorrect in my
assesment of what might be wrong.

I think my problem is that my sendmail isn't liking what cyrus is
sending to it for the replies. What I'm looking for is to find out how I
can peer into what sieve is doing (logging?) and also where it gets the
command line from that it chooses to use to reply to people via sieve so
I can start debugging from there.

The only thing I found in regards to this so far was a message from over
a year ago saying that you have to patch the cyrus code in order for
this to happen...I could do this on a spare machine but I thought I'd
ask before I goto the trouble of building a machine, getting FreeBSD
installed and then installing all these packages.

Should it help, here's what I *think* I know at this point.


I am using Cyrus 2.1.11 with Postfix on FreeBSD, both compiled from
ports basically. All sieve scripts work just fine for moving messages to
imap folders and for discarding, but I'm trying to get vacation messages
to work. This problem is identical on another machine I built using the
same manifest.

If I set up a rule for instance, to reply to all messages with a
vacation notification, then the next rule down is to move the mail to a
subfolder, then the message will get moved to a subfolder but the sender
of original message won't ever see a thing.

Here are what I think are the relavent lines from my imapd.conf # Note
that duplicate delivery suppression is required for Sieve.
duplicatesuppression: yes
sieveusehomedir: false
sievedir: /var/imap/sieve
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail

And of course:
> which sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail

Which of course is actually the Postfix to Sendmail compatibility
interface


Here's what I see in my /var/log/maillog with my notes

Ok, we got it..

Ok, we virus scanned it via amavisd and reinjected it..Now here's where
I'm getting lost...

Looks promising..I'd imagine the message-id means sieve did try to
reply... (courier and mx1 = same machine)

Dec 17 17:06:06 courier sendmail[42062]: gBHM66vs042062:

I guess my sendmail didn't like the command line issued to it, but this
message ID doesn't match anyway. However the timestamps are AWFUL close
together....perhaps the reply has a new ID?


Dec 17 17:06:06 courier postfix/qmgr[40332]: E13495649F: from=<>,

So I guess this might have been a bounce message that is misdirected to
cyrus at courier.clickcom.com instead of postmaster at clickcom.com? 

A very confused,
