sieve vacation and aliases

Dear list,

I have vacation via sieve scripts in the form of:

require "vacation";
vacation :days 5
:subject "Abwesenheitsnotiz"
"Danke für Ihre Nachricht."

Now we have a customer who have a lot of alias domains. They get mail to
x [at] dom1 and that's place to x [at] dom-real I just found that sieve
then does NOT reply to messages for that alias.

In this discussion
http://objectmix.com/imap/201068-sieve-vacation-addresses-wildcards.html
they say it's a must to setup all alias addresses, is that true for
dbmail also or is there a workaround?

I must say that we rewrite alias domains in postfix already, so dbmail
only sees x [at] dom-real, not x [at] dom1 (where the people send mail to).
Looks like sieve vacation doesn't see the envelope, but the content of
the mail "To:" header. So I guess it won't work on BCC: received mails
too?

There is a search for "is this message actually addressed to me?" -- an
important error case being mailing lists that get spammed by people's
autoresponders. I can't think of a good workaround to offer you off the
cuff.

I'm pretty sure that Bcc is specifically excluded for the obvious privacy
implications of the Bcc.

Thanks Aaron,

I've made a quick patch to our web tool. When a user now makes a
vacation entry, all alias domains of them are searched, and vacation
gets a list of :addresses [...], where user [at] dom, user [at] dom, etc. is
listed. That solves the problem.

Luckily we have a patched dbmail where it's easy to find alias domains
:-)
