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.
