Avelsieve not sending vacation replies…. Cyrus to blame??

I'm having a problem with avelsieve not sending vacation messages. It will do all the other funtions, redirect mail, filter mail into folders, etc. But it will NOT send messages out. I'm having a tough time figuring out where its failing. does anyone have any advice or troubleshooting steps I could take? I followed Ian Butler's instructions here->[url]https://www.afp548.com/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=26&showtopic=9761[/url] to set everything up and it worked great, i'm just having this one silly problem
