RE : Vacation problem
Here's the problem: $ telnet mail.intellinetinc.com smtp Trying 139.142.54.37... Connected to h139-142-54-37.gtcust.grouptelecom.net.

Assuming that, I think the problem is in MTA (Sendmail in my case) configuration. BUT I didn't configured my sendmail to refuse empty Return-Path: I suspect Sendmail is configured to do that by default. And I'm sure there are thousands MTAs doing the same thing (let's say to reject spam messages using empty Return-Path) I'm not sure whose problem is that, cyrus or MTA but by defaulf installation (and wothout some code change in lmtpd.c) it simply does'n work!

It is hard to tell from the logs since you are using 4 different email addresses, but it looks like sieve tried to send mail from <> (which sendmail accepted, but gave an authentication warning since cyrus isn't listed as a trusted user in your sendmail.cf file) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] That gets sent, apparently to the same MTA, which then has a problem talking to the relay mail.montana-education.ab.ca. It then tries to send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (presumably an alias from postmaster), and again has a problem talking to mail.intellinetinc.com and panics since it has nowhere to send the bounce message. So, it looks like Cyrus is fine but your MTA is misconfigured. -- John A. Tamplin Unix System Administrator Emory University, School of Public Health +1 404/727-9931

You don't want an auto-generated message generating a bounce message, since that could lead to an infinite loop. Thus, just like mailer-daemon messages in the MTA, a vacation message should have the envelope from set to <>. -- John A.

Check the location of the sendmail binary. It doesn't look like its in the location that lmtpd looks by default (/usr/lib/sendmail). Use the 'sendmail' option in imapd.conf to specify where its path.
