Here is another plugin for those like me who do not have a Sieve server.

Brilliant!

BTW, there is typo: comma separEted => comma separated

Would you mind to add a brief desc how to make it work and so on?

I see that it writes some files to user folders via ftp connection. I.e. it has some requirements to be met in order to run it. And these vacation files are in some specific format. So, the one should start ftp server and map ftp virtual space to.. to what physical space?

And these vacation files? Which SMTP server is needed to understand them? E.g. Postfix, Exim, etc? Also, the server must be configured to read these files from users' home dirs, correct?

Thank you!

Regards,
Alex

Fixed.

The plugin was tested with Solaris 8 and sendmail SMTP server. All files are created in user's home directory.

Here is a little excerpt from vacation's man page:

Quote:

.vacation.msg should include a header with at least a Sub-
ject: line (it should not include a From: or a To: line).
For example:

Subject: I am on vacation
I am on vacation until July 22. If you have something urgent,
please contact Joe Jones (jones@fB0).
     --John

If the string $SUBJECT appears in the .vacation.msg file, it
is replaced with the subject of the original message when
the reply is sent; thus, a .vacation.msg file such as

Subject: I am on vacation
I am on vacation until July 22.
Your mail regarding "$SUBJECT" will be read when I return.
If you have something urgent, please contact
Joe Jones (jones@fB0).
     --John

will include the subject of the message in the reply.

No message is sent if the To: or the Cc: line does not list
the user to whom the original message was sent or one of a
number of aliases for them, if the initial From line
includes the string -REQUEST@, or if a Precedence: bulk or
Precedence: junk line is included in the header.

vacation will also not respond to mail from either postmas-
ter or Mailer-Daemon.

A list of senders is kept in the dbm format   files
.vacation.pag and .vacation.dir in your home directory.
These files are dbm files and cannot be viewed directly with
text editors.

It's the same on Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS:

Quote:

sudo apt-get install vacation

RHEL/CentOS 5.x - here and maybe here.
