It looks like the message bounced the first time but was then delivered on
a retry - however no vacation reply was received by user1. I am not getting
an error about a missing transport since it is not missing.
My address_reply transport is set up as follows in the config:
address_reply:
driver = autoreply
As for the redirect router, I've had a look at the spec.pdf for exim 4 and
I've actually used the example given on page 144 for a userforward router
so I'd hope that it was correct (see below - userforward example).
I guess the next question is, what is likely to cause the following error:
"Failed to send message from address_reply transport (1)"
what does the error code "1" stand for ? I have not been able to find its
meaning in the documentation ?

reported below. While this error persists, you will receive\n\
a copy of this message for every message that is addressed\n\
to you. If your .forward file is a filter file, or if it is\n\
a non-filter file containing no valid forwarding addresses,\n\
a copy of each incoming message will be put in your normal\n\
mailbox. If a non-filter file contains at least one valid\n\
forwarding address, forwarding to the valid addresses will\n\
happen, and those will be the only deliveries that occur.
