+<p>In the NUUG <a href="http://www.fiksgatami.no/">FiksGataMi</a>
project (Norwegian version of
-<ahref="http://www.fixmystreet.com/">FixMyStreet</a> from
-<ahref="http://www.mysociety.org/">mySociety</a>), we have discovered
-a problem with the municipalities using <ahref="http://www.zimbra.com/
-">Zimbra</a>. When FiksGataMi send a problem report to the
-government, the from: address is set to the address of the person
-reporting the problem, while envelope sender is set to the FiksGataM
-contact address. The intention is to make sure the municipality send
-any replies to the person reporting the problem, while any email
-delivery problems are sent to us in NUUG. This work well in most
-cases, but not for Karmøy municipality using Zimbra. Karmøy is using
-the vacation message function in Zimbra to send an automatic reply to
-report that the message has been received, and this message is sent to
-the envelope sender and not the address in the From: header.</p>

-<p>This causes the automatic message to go to NUUGs request-tracker
-instance instead of to the person reporting the problem. We can not
-really change the envelope sender address, as this would make it
-impossible for us to discover when there are problems with the MTAs
-receiving problem reports. We have been in contact with the people at
-Karmøy municipality, and they are willing to adjust Zimbra if
-something can be changed there to get a better behaviour.</p>

<p>The default behaviour of Zimbra is as far as I can tell according
to the specification in RFC 3834, which recommend that vacation
messages are sent to the envelope sender and not to the From: address.
But I wonder if it is possible to adjust or configure Zimbra to behave
-differently. Anyone know? Please let us know at fiksgatami (at)
