I need to be able to do auto attend / vacation emails for non-user
accounts.  I have copied the existing router and transport for the user
vacations and amended accordingly.

However it isn't working and I can't see why - it did work once on a
test email, but only the once.

It appears that the router is working, and the transport is getting
called. If I change the filename in the transport so that it doesn't
exist then I get an error. However, it never generates a response email.

Anyone got any ideas?

I have tried with a number of different aliases including aliases to
user accounts, black holes etc.
For some aliases the global_vacation_reply line appears in the log, for
others it doesn't.
In the transport I have used both $domain and $original_domain. Neither
work.

If I use the following command it shows the router working as expected,
and the transport is queued, but never shows the transport doing anything.

exim -f gary@ringways.co.uk -d+all -bt noreply@ringways.co.uk 2>&1|gvim -
