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 ?
If you can access the original recipient from your MTA, you can use both -a and -r (if needed) arguments of dovecot-lda as outlined on this wiki page:
This will make the vacation command perform the checks against the original recipient.
Please let me know whether this is an adequate solution for you.
Hmm, apparently this was not possible yet, so I've added it now:
http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole/rev/81f7acac82f2
This also adds support to disable this check completely (as explained in doc/vacation.txt). I recommend using that only when all other methods fail.
I've still got some more TODO items about this issue, particularly about adding support to check some external aliases database. I am still not sure how I should approach that though.
Regards,
Stephan.
