Dovecot does much more than that, it can leverage local delivery as
well as authentication from the MTA, which has a whole bunch of neat
advantages, such as handling filtering rules and vacation messages. To
implement those, dovecot can be patched to support sieve rules. And to
let users manage the sieve configuration themselves, it also has
managesieve support. Lots of clients/plugins out there can do
managesieve, for instance the roundcube webmail.

Check it out, it's definitely "the good ol' vacation" done right :-D
