Hmmm. From my read of the imapd.conf, I think this will do what I
want:
virtdomains: off
defaultdomain: example.com
I am understanding these options correctly? I.e, does the
defaultdomain also apply to the recipient matching that Sieve's
vacation extension performs?
It probably won't help. Chances are that the domain is completely
stripped off of the envelope recipient by the time the sieve script
is executed. Because there is no way for lmtpd or Sieve to know
what a user's email address is, you almost always have to use
:addresses in the vacation action.
You're right; using defaultdomain doesn't help.
But this brings up an interesting point: why is Sieve matching against
the envelope recipient address in the first place? Per
draft-ietf-sieve-vacation-06.txt, address matching applies to the
headers in the message (e.g.; To, CC), not to the envelope recipients.
And while Sieve can't know for certain what the user's email address
is, I think a reasonable default guess would be the username for the
local-part and the default virtual domain for the domain. (I think
that's the logic already, but I wasn't sure based on my quick read of
the code.)
So, I think this is really a bug in Sieve. If Sieve would perform the
address matching against the headers instead of the envelope
recipient, then I think this problem would be a lot less common.
Thoughts?
I wasn't clear. We *do* compare the recipient's email addresses against
the recipients headers (To, Cc, etc). However, in the absence of the
:addresses parameter, the only email address that we have for the
recipient is the envelope RCPT TO address (which may or may not contain
the domain).
In other words, if you look at section 4.5 of
draft-ietf-sieve-vacation-06, CMU Sieve uses points 1. and 2.
