Hi Joseph, it would indeed be helpful if you posted the relevant section of your sieve script. Nevertheless, two hints which might hopefully be useful: 1. Try to find out if anything in the chain between Sieve and your MTA might be the issue. The easiest way to do that is to try some rejecting with message or some forwarding as this will require Sieve to generate a new message and send it. In case that works, your Cyrus-MTA-Integration is probably not the problem. If that does not work either, check your MTA's log files for potential problems. 2. If you find out that it looks as if Sieve is not creating any vacation response message at all, do you have the :address parameter set up and set up correctly? This parameter is technically optional, but the default value when omitting that parameter is *not* a wildcard. In other words: A vacation setup without any :address parameter will never create a vacation response message at all. (I think this could become an FAQ.)
