            Bug ID: 2593
           Summary: Can't open .vacation file: EXIM_DBOPEN: file
                    <.vacation> dir <.vacation> flags=O_RDWR|O_CREAT
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.92
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Delivery in general
          Assignee: unallocated@???
          Reporter: grin@???

exim filter "vacation" fails delivering mail:

T=address_reply defer (0): Failed to open db (v4.1+) file .vacation when
sending message from address_reply transport: No such file or directory

It seems to have caused by the default filename ".vacation" not containing a
directory, and in turn interpreting it as a "directory+file" results a bad
directory component, which is same string as filename:

EXIM_DBOPEN: file <.vacation> dir <.vacation> flags=O_RDWR|O_CREAT

which in turn fails by ".vacation" directory not existing.

Using "vacation once ./.vacation" seems to fix it, suggesting the suspect is
indeed the filename->directory+filename parser.
