Thanks for that,
Now getting somewhere.

However, now have a new problem.

This is how we're set up here

Fred Jones has a log in account of fjones for his email.
The mail server has the domain name of mail.example.com
Freds email is delivered to fred.jones@???

So we have a virtual domain of hisoffice.co.uk and in it we have

fred.jones: fjones

Now, both vacation and horde produce the line

\fjones, "|/usr/local/bin/vacation fjones"

This works fine, but the vacation email that gets returned has the return address of : fjones@??? instead of fred.jones@???

I've tried \fjones, "|/usr/local/bin/vacation -a fred.jones@??? fjones" and also putting a From: line in the .vacation.msg file - same thing happens.

Our forward router and transport are:

userforward:
driver = redirect
check_local_user
file = $home/.forward
no_verify
no_expn
check_ancestor
allow_filter
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply

Address_Pipe gets used

address_pipe:
driver = pipe
return_output

Any more thoughts anyone ?

Mike

It shouldn't have a # Exim filter line because it isn't a filter file, it's a traditional .forward file which Exim treats as a redirection list.
See the three sections starting at

What do the logs say?
