Re: Could not get auto reponse mail (courier_vacation)

I had perhaps the same problem a couple of days ago. I fianlly figured out 
that 2 things were happening unexpectedly.

First, the vacation program defaults to only respond to the same address once 
a week. So unless you turn off vacation for a user and then turn it back on, 
it will not send a reply to the same address. man vacation tells you how to 
change this setting.

Second, I had a procmail script that scanned email using Spamassassin and 
deleted emails that were scored as very likely spam. One of my custom rules 
was pushing the vacation response over this threshold and so the response was 
being deleted before reaching the user's mailbox. I had been relying heavily 
on the ALL_TRUSTED rule as a sort of whitelist to determine if emails were 
legit, but because vacation does not deliver via SMTP ALL_TRUSTED was not 
being triggered.

I hope one of these two explanations will help.
