Actually just the opposite.  It is using the actual email address and not
the virtual mapping.

Set the From: header in your vacation message.  See the vacation man page.

Or, make sure vacation sends it through sendmail, and make sure sendmail
remaps the outgoing addresses to what you want.

Vacation doesn't use the IMP identity (though it might be interesting to
look into doing so when possible).
