Here is a log snippet when testing for a vacation response to an 
external address.  The external domain is not gmail.com (more redaction 
practice), but instead a separate kolab 3.4 server I maintain.

This bit below strikes me as odd...

    Aug 30 14:24:12 mail postfix/qmgr[4092]:    B49DA206A:
    from=<SRS0=c0k5=AA=gmail.com=test-user at example.com>, size=1635,
    nrcpt=1 (queue active)

...as I expected the "from" address to be "test-user at gmail.com". I'm not 
sure what is mangling the sender address.  Later on it seems the 
vacation reply may be attempted, but the reply address is unknown?
