[Dovecot] Missing return-path on vacation messages

[Stephen Vaughan]

Hello,

Is this ever likely to be fixed in dovecot?

It was mentioned in a previous thread before:

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>
