Hmm, apparently this was not possible yet, so I've added it now:

http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole/rev/81f7acac82f2

This also adds support to disable this check completely (as explained in 
doc/vacation.txt). I recommend using that only when all other methods fail.

I've still got some more TODO items about this issue, particularly about 
adding support to check some external aliases database. I am still not 
sure how I should approach that though.

Regards,

Stephan.
