Hi Stephan,

Thanks for your reply.

After some more tests, it appears that mail aliases is the reason of 
this error. The vacation mode has been enabled on a mailbox that 
contains many aliases and one of them has been used as the recipient.
We used dovecot 2.0.12-0~auto+5 from debian old-stable repo. Is there 
anything we can do ?

Thanks,
Stephane
