I solved that problem (granted, with virtual domains) by using the dovecot managesieve support and Horde ingo. Any sieve management tool should able to do it, though, we were using Horde for webmail already so rigging ingo to do filters wasn't hard.

No experience outside of ingo with this stuff, but ingo itself integrates a vacation rule in quite nicely. There are a pile of other solutions for managing the scripts through the managesieve interface, so finding one that works for you shouldn't be too hard.

Quoting Raymond Lillard <rlill...@sonic.net>:

Dear Dovecot list,

I maintain a few small sendmail/dovecot/procmail based
mail servers with system users only (no virtual domains
or virtual users) on OpenBSD.

I have been able to get a vacation system working with
both with the native vacation program from OpenBSD and
with procmail.  I've been looking into dovecot sieve,
but it doesn't appear to solve the bigger user complaint
which is, they want to be able to control the vacation
feature w/o my involvement.

What is wanted is a system where the users can send a
control mail message to themselves with the reply body
in the message or failing that perhaps a secure web
page to control the vacation function.

Mail administration is NOT a full time job for me.  I'm
looking for simple, low overhead solutions.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your time.
Ray
