Yes, the user needs to create a sive script that takes the vacation action for all incoming messages (except mailing list subscriptions, etc). The user then needs to upload this script to the server somehow. > Another important point is that it would be nice if the user has an > interface where he can active/deactive/update his vacation message, > does something like that exist ? I use SquirrelMail as a webmail frontend to Cyrus for users when they are out of the office. SquirrelMail supports a plugin architecture, and there is a plugin (avelsieve) that deals with GUI creation of sieve scripts, and submits them to the server. Most of my users have no problem with using that interface to set up limited mail filters, and vacation messages. HTH, Mike.
