Hi folks
I setup a vacation reply mechanism for my Exim 4.12 installation,
comprising the following:

Router:
-------------------------------------------------
vacation:
        driver = accept
        check_local_user
        require_files = $home/.vacation
        no_verify
        # do not send reply to errors or lists
        senders = "! ^.*-request@.*:\
                   ! ^owner-.*@.*:\
                   ! ^root@.*:\
                   ! ^postmaster@.*:\
                   ! ^listmaster@.*:\
                   ! ^mailer-daemon@.*"
        # do not reply to errors and bounces or lists
        condition = "${if or {{match {$h_precedence:}
{(?i)junk|bulk|list}} \
                        {eq {$sender_address} {}}} {no} {yes}}"
        transport = vacation_reply
        unseen
---------------------------------------------------


Transport:

-----------------------------------------------------
vacation_reply:
        driver = autoreply
        file = $home/.vacation
        file_expand
        log = $home/vacation.log
        once = $home/vacation.db
        from = $local_part@???
        to = $sender_address
        subject = "Re: $h_subject"
        text = "Dear $h_from\n\n\
        This is an automatic reply.  Please feel free to send
additional\n\
        mail to me, as only this one notice will be generated. The
following\n\
        is a pre-recorded message, sent on behalf of\n\
        ${local_part}@???:\n\
        ================================================\n\n"


--------------------------------------------------------------

This works fine most of the time, except occasionally I'll see an error
like this one below in my logs:


2003-04-24 08:01:58 198ak2-0003Ap-00 <= barbara.urben@???
H=(mailout09.sul.t-online.com) [194.25.134.84] P=esmtp S=5389
id=BACD58C4.F5F%barbara.urben@???
2003-04-24 08:01:58 198ak2-0003Ap-00 => mnussboeck
<marc.nussboeck@???> R=localuser T=local_delivery
2003-04-24 08:01:58 198ak2-0003Ap-00 **
mnussboeck@??? <marc.nussboeck@???>
R=vacation T=vacation_reply: Expansion of "Re: $h_subject" in
vacation_reply transport contains non-printing character 10

Evidently there was something in the subject line which offended Exim's
expansion sensibilities! Any ideas what the problem could be?

Later
Konrad
