Nothing changed in the command line of sendmail between the bytecode and
the not-bytecode versions.  I'll take a look as to why we're not setting
the From: field properly though.

strace/truss output of the lmtpd in question when it is processing this
script might be interesting.

I don't know of any reason that a script that was marked active in
sieveshell/timsieved wouldn't actually BE active.

(alternatively, if its just a vacation script, are you sure all the
requirements to send a vacation message are being met?)
