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 at domain.com Out_of_office_
<dovecot-1248932550-403189-0 at 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 <>
