My config for vacation messages, for what its worth, looks as follows
and only ever sends one reply to any specific sender address:
In routers I have:
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
In transports I have:
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"
