I've got dovecot vacataion auto-responses working via sieve, but when the responses are sent, they are sent as if they are to be locally delivered, which causes them to bounce for domains that I am not local for. How can I get dovecot's sieve vacation response to check the domain is local or not? Here is an example of what happens: The LDA notices it needs to send a vacation response: 2019-05-14T10:50:47.827466-07:00 brant dovecot: lda(user at example.org)<14817><xL6LL/f/2lzhOQAAh856Uw>: sieve: msgid=<20190514135045.012486 at localhost>: sent vacation response to <someone at somewhere.org> but that response was sent via the postfix pipe through the dovecot lda transport... because that is local, and the domain it is sending to is not local, it bounces: 2019-05-14T10:50:47.923333-07:00 brant postfix/pipe[14821]: C998381539: to=<someone at somewhere.org>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.11, delays=0.04/0.01/0/0.06, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (user unknown) Postfix is set to do this: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=mail argv=/usr/bin/spamc --connect-retries=1 -H -d 10.0.1.92 -s 10240000 -t 100 -u ${recipient} -e /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} require ["fileinto", "vacation"]; vacation :days 2 :subject "Helllo" "Hi"; Here is my doveconf -n: # 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.4 () # OS: Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64 x86_64 Debian 9.8 auth_worker_max_count = 120 default_client_limit = 6144 default_process_limit = 256 default_vsz_limit = 512 M dict { expire = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf quota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf } disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_gid = 8 first_valid_uid = 8 last_valid_gid = 8 last_valid_uid = 8 listen = * login_greeting = howdy, ready. login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l mpid=%e %c %k mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox mail_plugins = expire quota zlib maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = . } namespace { alias_for = hidden = yes inbox = no list = no location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } plugin { expire = Trash expire2 = Trash/* expire3 = Spam expire_dict = proxy::expire quota = dict:Your mail quota::proxy::quota quota_rule = *:bytes=100663296 quota_rule2 = Trash:bytes=+20%% quota_rule3 = Spam:bytes=+10%% quota_rule4 = INBOX.Trash:bytes=+20%% quota_rule5 = INBOX.Spam:bytes=+10%% quota_rule6 = INBOX.restored_from_backups:bytes=+500%% sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_after = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/after.sieve sieve_before = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve zlib_save = gz zlib_save_level = 6 } protocols = " imap pop3" service anvil { unix_listener anvil { group = dovecot mode = 0660 user = root } } service auth { client_limit = 6144 unix_listener auth-userdb { group = mail mode = 0600 user = mail } } service dict { unix_listener dict { group = mail mode = 0600 user = mail } } service imap-login { process_min_avail = 10 service_count = 0 vsz_limit = 512 M } service imap-postlogin { executable = script-login /usr/local/sbin/postlogin_imap } service imap { executable = imap imap-postlogin process_limit = 6144 } service pop3-login { process_min_avail = 10 service_count = 0 vsz_limit = 512 M } service pop3-postlogin { executable = script-login /usr/local/sbin/postlogin_pop } service pop3 { executable = pop3 pop3-postlogin } service stats { unix_listener stats-writer { group = mail mode = 0660 } } ssl_cert = </etc/certs/wildcard/cert.pem ssl_cipher_list = ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES128-GCM-SHA256:kEDH+AESGCM:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128-SHA256:AES256-SHA256:AES128-SHA:AES256-SHA:AES:CAMELLIA:DES-CBC3-SHA:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!RC4:!MD5:!PSK:!aECDH:!EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA:!EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:!KRB5-DES-CBC3-SHA ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } verbose_proctitle = yes verbose_ssl = yes protocol lda { mail_plugins = expire quota trees zlib sieve plugin { quota_exceeded_message = Sorry, your message cannot be delivered to that person because their mailbox is full.
