Because of SpamCop's attitude towards autoresponders*, I wish to patch
the implementation of the SIEVE vacation extension so that it will

Wow, that's pretty useless:
"Solution: Do not use these systems. Inform your normal corespondents of your absence before you depart. Or let a co-worker answer your email in your absence. Publish FAQ information on a web-site. If you wish to dispense information via email, it's easy to reject a message while referring the sender to a FAQ web-page. Using sendmail, this is done in the access.db table like so:


to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 550 Old address no longer valid, please see: http://www.example.com/NewAddressInfo.html";

So according to them I should either let someone else read my mail, or reject my mail... by giving users the ability to load addresses into sendmail config files!

From looking at sieve/bc_eval.c, this actually seems pretty
straightforward to do; I can just add another test case to
shouldRespond().

There's a comment fairly early in shouldRespond:

   /* Note: the domain-part of all addresses are canonicalized */

Does this mean that parse_address() is always going to return an
addr-spec, as per RFC2822 section 3.4.1?

As opposed to what?
