We are using Horde/IMP as webmail client, I will have a look if I also find something equivalent as avelsieve but for Horde/IMP. Hopefully someone already coded something. Regards Marc

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.

Yes.

Yes, a handful. Do a search for 'sieve' at sourceforge.net. One of the most commonly used interfaces is Websieve which I use hear for my users. You could also try easysieve (http://mail.cc.umanitoba.ca/source/). I haven't tried it, but based on other code that I've seen from Gary, its probably well written.

Vacation example with sendmail as MTA
Hello, I had a look through Cyrus documentation and FAQ but I didn't find anything mentioning how to set up vacation messages for the users hosted on our mail server using Sendmail 8.12.7 and Cyrus IMAP 2.1.11. Can someone in some few words explain me how I can active a vacation message for a user ? >From what I understood I will need sieve to acheive that, right ? 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 ? Regards Marc
