Thank you Ian,
Just to be sure, in my logs below testmail@??? is the actual vacation mailbox. Any emails sent to that address should send a vacation mail. My tests below was:
1. Send a mail directly to testmail@??? from mymailbox@??? via Outlook.
2. Send a mail to testmail@??? from mymailbox@??? via Outlook which in return will forward my mail to testmail@???. In both logs below only mymailbox@??? is shown as intended (as we want the mail to "originate" from my mailbox and not the forward account).
Point 1 works perfectly, point 2 does deliver the mail to the testmail@??? mailbox (the vacation mailbox) but simply does not send trigger the vacation mail router.
I cannot show you the forward config as that is setup via cPanel. The actual testmail account is setup on a cPanel server so not entirely sure how to extract that config but can confirm it's working.
Thank you again for your willingness to help 😊
Mauritz

Unless I'm badly mistaken, this shows the mail has not been forwarded to the "vacation" account at all, but delivered to "testmail". IOW the forwarding part of your configuration (which you have not shown) is to blame for not reaching the expected result.
