i'm trying to get postfix to accept the vacation.pl script, as supplied by the vacation plugin for roundcube (i'm interested in calling scripts when receiving mail for specific domains / subdomains). So far everything seems to work out.. except the script is not called ;)
here some data to get you started, then some more explaination:

# now what should fire the "vacation" script is the fact that there is an mysql table entry in:
mysql> select address,goto from alias where address='peter#example.com' and active=1;
+-------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| address | goto |
+-------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| peter#example.com | peter#example.com#vacation.example.com,peter#example.com,peter#foobar.org |
so in theory whatever i send to peter#example.com gets saved into peter#example.com's mailbox, then gets forwarded to peter#example.com#vacation.example.com and to peter#example.com#vacation.example.com. the second very strange email address in the database that is not really correct was not my idea but is the result of enabling vacation via the roundcubemail vacation.pl plugin.
so the problem is when i send mail to peter#example.com, the forward to peter#foobar.org works, but something in the forward to strange peter#example.com#vacation.example.com doesnt work as the script is never called that should be called with the mail piped into it when receiving mail for .vacation.example.com.
I checked all sql querys in the according sql files, they all seem to work out.
hope you can help :)

Answer 1

It seems i solved the mystery problem. When i create an alias myself from test#example.com to test#vacation.example.com, the script gets called.

and dies for some reason i stopped caring about. The alias setup with the strange double # renaming via aliases was all configured through the web interface of the roundcube plugin, so as so many people liked the plugin i thought double # would be ok and working for this small task. i was wondering about it myself but well. seems like double # does not make sense ;) so the transport thing works out. i guess my problem in the first place was trusting the reviews of this specific roundcube plugin: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rcubevacation/
will move to sieve now.. but i learned a lot about postfix and to know how to pipe a mail to a script for a specific subdomain is a nice to have knowledge ;)
