[Bug 2593] New: Can't open .vacation file: EXIM_DBOPEN: file <.vacation> dir <.vacation> flags=O_RDWR|O_CREAT
https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2593

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@exim.org
Reporter: grin@grin.hu
CC: exim-dev@exim.org

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.
