.forward with cyrus?

[aphro@portal.aphroland.org]

hi


im tryin to get vacation working. however my system seems
to be ignoring the .forward .  mail is delivered straight
to cyrus. my configuration is probably far from standard.
i use debian 2.2r2 and sendmail 8.9.3 on the destination
system. cyrus from debian is used as is amavis(http://amavis.org)
for antivirus scanning. amavis uses a few hacks to integrate
with sendmail mainly the main sendmail.cf uses 'amavis' as
the mailer, and all mails are passed to it and scanned, then
amavis launches sendmail again using the original configuration
and mail is processed as normal. i can't figure out how to
make autoresponders work via aliases(this would be optimal)
but now i can't even do it with vacation as cyrus seems to
intercept the mail before anything else.

not sure if this is a sendmail issue or an amavis issue
or a cyrus issue or what .......

any ideas?

thanks
