sieve vacation to an alias group

[Yassine Chaouche]

I am curious to know how did you define the filter on an alias in the 
first place ? is it a filter defined globaly in dovecot ? I don't see 
how it can be defined in any individual mailbox. Can you show the 
dovecot/sieve configuration to achieve this ?
