Hi Phil

Thanks for your answer..

I cant find somthing, sendmail looks okay:
/etc/imapd.conf:
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail

:~$ ls -la /usr/sbin/sendmail
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 15908 2005-03-01 02:05 /usr/sbin/sendmail

:~$ ls -al /usr/lib/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 16 2005-04-05 17:02 /usr/lib/sendmail -> 
../sbin/sendmail

this cant be the problem...

I use the the package that comes with Debian Sarge
(cyrus21-imapd; 2.1.18-1) and also postfix (postfix; 2.1.5-9)

I made a little test script, here it comes:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
require ["reject","fileinto","vacation"];

if header :contains "Subject" "rejecttest"
{
    reject "testing";
}
if header :contains "Subject" "vactest"
{
   vacation :days 7 :addresses ["my at email.com"] "vactest!";
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

reject works but the vacation not:-(

is there a way to get any additionl infos, by example a strace would be 
great..

regards

Andreas
