[Dovecot] Missing return-path on vacation messages
Hi,
I can see this has been discussed previously, was just wondering if it's been fixed in v1.1.x?

I don't consider it a bug. Rejection messages shouldn't have a return path, otherwise they themselves may be rejected and soon you'll have a bounce loop.
I was talking about vacation auto-reply messages missing the return path

Pretty much the same thing, just replace "rejection" with "vacation" in my reply. Why do you want them to have the return path?

The vacation auto reply is being rejected by spamassassin, for bad_MIME

Are you sure it's because of a missing return path? Sounds more like the message MIME body is broken. I've never checked if it is..

Hello,
Is this ever likely to be fixed in dovecot?
It was mentioned in a previous thread before: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2008-December/035753.html
Basically the vacation system is useless, most mail servers with anti-spam are rejecting the vacation replies because the sender isn't a valid address.
This is the address that the auto replies are coming from:
<<>@domain1.com>

Yeah, it was fixed a week after my mail: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-sieve-1.1/rev/49537bad6797
Does the fix apply to dovecot 1.1 only? We are running 1.0, should we be upgrading to 1.2?

1.0 is old... so yes, you should upgrade... lots more reasons than this one bugfix, for sure...
But... I'm confused about the bug...
The mail clients displayed 'From' address was the problem, right? Thats what was fixed... the 'return-path', which is what you were originally complaining about, is still <>, as it should be for vacation messages.
I might be confused also, I haven't been able to receive an automated vacation reply yet.. both gmail and my mail servers block mail from the auto reply. This is what shows up in the mail logs on one my servers:
Jul 30 01:00:48 asura qmail-scanner-queue.pl: qmail-scanner[32365]: Policy:Bad_MIME:RC:0(202.47.4.134):SA:0(-2.6/5.0): 4.856249 790 <>@ mail.domain.com.au admin@domain.com Out_of_office_ dovecot-1248932550-403189-0@max_ 1248933643.32367-0.asura.domain.com:14orig-asura.domain.com124893364378632365:790
So maybe it isn't the return-path, but it doesn't seem to like the fact that the user is <>

If you read the thread where this was declared fixed, it specifically said something about the MIME body being broken...
Easiest way to tell if this fixes it is... upgrade... ;)
