Sorry to bring this up again.

I have now configured my test server to pass all email messages off to
our central campus email filter gateway.  This gateway scans all email
traffic for viruses/spam before being delivered to any local mail servers.
Once I did this my auto vacation replies are getting canned due to the
fact the from header line is empty in the reply message.  You can see
that it is empty from my mail logs (soon after the line where is
executes my .dovecot.sievec file):

My sieve file:
require ["fileinto", "vacation"];

# BEGIN VACATION
vacation
    :days 30
    :subject "Out of Office Reply"
    :from "cj.keist at colostate.edu"
    :addresses "cjay at engr2.colostate.edu"
"********************** OUT OF THE OFFICE *******************

testing auto vacation
i will reply to your message.

*************************************************************";

Is there something in the config files I'm missing?  Also, I'm willing
to debug this if someone could point me in the right direction in the
sieve plugin code where the from address should be set.

Thanks...
