You're right; using defaultdomain doesn't help. But this brings up an interesting point: why is Sieve matching against the envelope recipient address in the first place? Per draft-ietf-sieve-vacation-06.txt, address matching applies to the headers in the message (e.g.; To, CC), not to the envelope recipients. And while Sieve can't know for certain what the user's email address is, I think a reasonable default guess would be the username for the local-part and the default virtual domain for the domain. (I think that's the logic already, but I wasn't sure based on my quick read of the code.) So, I think this is really a bug in Sieve. If Sieve would perform the address matching against the headers instead of the envelope recipient, then I think this problem would be a lot less common. Thoughts?
