Hi,

I had problems with the vacation messages in one client's mail, as it seems it wasn't sending some including to us. I searched our domain in the exim log, and I saw that it was sending to an incorrect address. We use Sendgrid with our regular mails, and they change some headres sections, so it was sending the mail to a bounce address (which they use to track undelivered mails) instead our real address.

I have solved this issue just by changing in the exim.conf in the uservacation transport to = "${sender_address}" to to = "${reply_address}". In the exim documentation says that it gets the "Reply-To" value first, and if there is no line o its empty it gets the "From" line.

I have done some testing and for me, it works nice. I use the exim.conf version 2.1.1, but I have checked and it's the same in 4.X.
