Sieve Vacation not working

[Michael Bacon]

The problem is that vacation absolutely has to have the envelope sender, or 
it won't know who to send it to.  If you're using LMTP, this isn't a 
problem, but if you're going through procmail, it is.  You have to tell 
sendmail to add a command line option in that instance.  For us, it goes 
something like this:

Mcyrus,         P=/usr/procmail/procmail, F=lsDFMnqA5@, S=10, R=20/40, 
T=X-Unix,
                U=cyrus:mail,
                A=procmail -Y -m /usr/procmail/procmailrc $u $h $g


And then at the end of the procmail file, we deliver as follows:

TRAP="/var/cyrus/bin/deliver -r \"$3\" -m $2 -- $1"

You have to figure out how to get the envelope sender ($g in your 
delivering rule in the sendmail.cf) to the -r flag to deliver.  If you get 
there, vacation should work.
