[Dovecot] sieve pigeonhole vacation filter responding when recipient is not explicitly listed

Hi dovecot.org,

When I set up vacation filter for a mailbox, the vacation response is 
generated even though none of the addresses in the email are same as the 
mailbox address itself.


I have example email sent to "aliastouser at mpathix.com" which gets 
delivered to "user at my.domain.com" by dovecot-lda.

The invocation command is:

# /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda \
   -d user \
   -f john.doe at somewhere.com \
   -a aliastouser at mpathix.com \
   -p /tmp/test.email


# cat /tmp/test.email
Message-ID: <test3>
From: John Doe <john at somewhere.com>
To: aliastouser at mpathix.com
Subject: test3 vacation response as aliastouser

This is the only line in test.email.

Here is the vacation filter:

if true
{
vacation :days 1 :addresses ["user at my.domain.com"] text:
Please ignore this message, I am only testing vacation filter
.
;
}

/var/log/mail.log shows that sieve vacation sends vacation, (and after 
succeeding attempts, discards due to already sent address)

Apr  9 13:37:21 mx01 dovecot: lda(user): sieve: <test3>: sent vacation 
response to <john at somewhere.com>
Apr  9 13:37:21 mx01 dovecot: lda(user): sieve: msgid=<test3>: stored 
mail into mailbox 'INBOX'
...
Apr  9 13:40:15 mx01 dovecot: lda(user): sieve: msgid=<test3>: discarded 
duplicate vacation response to <john at somewhere.com>
Apr  9 13:40:15 mx01 dovecot: lda(user): sieve: msgid=<test3>: stored 
mail into mailbox 'INBOX'


Attached is the doveconf -n output.

Any help is appreciated.

Milan.
