Hi,

I have a similar setup, but I use a different approach, without always_bcc.

In the main configuration file, in virtual_alias_maps, I have many config file for all action via
LDAP (gnarwl, alias, forward). I think you are using a similar setup.

In the configuration file for gnarwl, I use:

result_format = %s,%uautoreply.mydomain

and in the transport file:

autoreply.mydomain gnarwl:

With this setup I don't have any problems, and gnarwl is used only when the user setup the vacation
