using sieve to inform users of a new address

[ali asad lotia]

sorry i am not at all familiar with sieve, i have read the rfc and the  
white paper, but would benefit greatly from the expertise of the folks  
in the list

> Add ':addresses "old email address without domain" option to vacation.
with the line above, for a user foo at bar.com who is migrating to  
foo at baz.net would the script be:
require "vacation";
         if header :contains ["To", "Cc", "Bcc"] "foo at bar.com"
         { vacation :addresses "foo"  "Please note, my new email address  
is foo at baz.net.
                 Please send email to this address in the future.";
         }

wouldnt this send out email to all users instead of just those who send  
mail to the old address? or does it only function based if the header  
test is passed?
or would this be the script:

require "vacation";
         if header :contains ["To", "Cc", "Bcc"] "foo at bar.com"
         { vacation :addresses "foo at bar.com"  "Please note, my new email  
address is foo at baz.net.
                 Please send email to this address in the future.";
         }

thanks
