The issue is that that your vacation script likely injects the
auto-responses into the queue via sendmail(1), i.e. local submission.
To avoid loops, such configurations correctly disable filtering of
local submission.
The only way to avoid the problem is to ensure that auto-responses
are sent into an input channel in which the vacation filter is not
enabled. With local submission (i.e. without rewriting the vacation
responder to speak SMTP) that is only possible with a multi-instance
setup, in which a second instance delivers mail to its recipients
without a vacation filter, then you could use "sendmail -C /config/dir"
to submit filtered mail from the first instance into the second,
allowing local submission in the first instance to be filtered.
