Hi,

I had the same problem, but fixed it. Your problem is with your transport entry 
and also (possibly) your alias table.

The postfixadmin vacation autoreponder works by first creating an entry in the 
alias table using a domain name that you have setup in the config.inc.php file 
for postfix.

If you look at the alias table (or file depending on your setup) for any users 
that have activated VACATION, you should see something like this...

[email protected]       [email protected], [email protected]

When a message comes in for the user above, postfix delivers it to both the 
entries in the alias table.

It will first reference the transport file, to see if an entry exists that it 
needs to take into account.

In your case, you are pushing all your mail for that user to VACATION script, 
so they will not get a copy in their mailbox.

What you need to do is change your transport file entry to:

autoreply.mydomain.com  vacation

now, postfix  will deliver any mail for *.autoreply.mydomain,com via vacation 
script, and a copy will also follow the normal path into the users mailbox.

Subject: Postfix autoresponder and transport problem
 

Hi guys,
i finally made it in the intent of adding an autoresponder to my postfix
server, and it works, but....it creates problems with dovecot!

This is what i've done:

master.cf:
vacation        unix    -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=DRhu    user=vacation   argv=/var/spool/vacation/vacation.pl -f 
${sender}
${recipient}

transport:
[email protected]     vacation

Here is the problem:
when i send a message to this account, i get the autoreply (this is ok) but
the receiving account doesn't receive the mail i send (i think because the
autoresponder plugin gets it and dovecot doesn't get the email).

How to fix it?
