hi,
i have written a shell script which works with the bsd vacation programme to supply users with an out of office function without installing sieve.
basically, it requires 2 things….
1. the vacation programme (including the gdbm libraries) installed
2. a new user on the server which will run the script on receipt of an email message
if there is any interest in this, i can submit this script for general use (and, of course, general improvements, of which, no doubt, there are many 😉.
cheers,
