[Dovecot] How does sieve's vacation keep track of duplicates?
I see the .dovecot.lda-dupes file that is created, but it doesn't seem like just plain text, and it doesn't seem to include strings of the senders, just the recipient. But I know the vacation functionality is clever enough to keep track of who it's already autoreplied to.
On a related note, I'm curious about other smarts built in to sieve's vacation responder -- what other things does it check, like Precedence header?

The other data is stored as a md5 hash. And, yes, the Precedence header is checked.
In general, it should follow the specification closely: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5230
The exact implementation is a bit much to explain in great detail. You could check the code for more specific info:

Starting at line 951.
