Script authors can specify how often replies can be sent to a +particular contact. In the original vacation extension, this interval is +specified in days with a minimum of one day. When more granularity is necessary +and particularly when replies must be sent more frequently than one day, the +vacation-seconds extension (RFC6131 [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5230/]) can +be used. This allows specifying the minimum reply interval in seconds with a +minimum of zero (a reply is then always sent), depending on administrator +configuration. + +Configuration +============= + +The *vacation* extension is available by default. In contrast, the +*vacation-seconds* extension - which implies the vacation extension when used - +is not available by default and needs to be enabled explicitly by adding it to +the 'sieve_extensions' setting. The configuration also needs to be adjusted +accordingly to allow a non-reply period of less than a day. + +The *vacation* and *vacation-seconds* extensions have their own specific +settings. The settings that specify a period (currently all of them) are +specified in *s*(econds), unless followed by a *d*(ay), *h*(our) or *m*(inute) +specifier character. + +The following settings can be configured for the vacation extension in the +'plugin' section (default values are indicated): + +sieve_vacation_min_period = 1d : + This specifies the minimum period that can be specified for the :days and + :seconds tags of the vacation command. A minimum of 0 indicates that users + are allowed to make the Sieve interpreter send a vacation response message + for every incoming message that meets the other reply criteria (refer to + RFC5230). A value of zero is however not recommended. + +sieve_vacation_max_period = 0 : + This specifies the maximum period that can be specified for the :days tag of + the vacation command. The configured value must be larger than the + sieve_vacation_min_period setting. A value of 0 has a special meaning: it + indicates that there is no upper limit. + +sieve_vacation_default_period = 7d : + This specifies the default period that is used when no :days or :seconds tag + is specified. The configured value must lie between the + sieve_vacation_min_period and sieve_vacation_max_period. + +sieve_vacation_use_original_recipient = no : + This specifies whether the original envelope recipient should be used in the + check for implicit delivery. The vacation command checks headers of the + incoming message, such as To: and Cc: for the address of the recipient, to + verify that the message is explicitly addressed at the recipient. If the + recipient address is not found, the vacation action will not trigger a + response to prevent sending a reply when it is not appropriate. Normally only + the final recipient address is used in this check. This setting allows + including the original recipient specified in the SMTP session if available. + This is useful to handle mail accounts with aliases. Use this option with + caution: if you are using aliases that point to more than a single account, + senders can get multiple vacation responses for a single message. Use the + <LDA.txt> '-a' option or the <LMTP.txt>/ <LDA.txt> + 'lda_original_recipient_header' setting to make the original SMTP recipient + available to Sieve. + +sieve_vacation_dont_check_recipient = no : + This disables the checks for implicit delivery entirely. This means that the + vacation command does not verify that the message is explicitly addressed at + the recipient. Use this option with caution. Specifying 'yes' will violate + the Sieve standards and can cause vacation replies to be sent for messages + not directly addressed at the recipient. + +sieve_vacation_send_from_recipient = no : + This setting determines whether vacation messages are sent with the SMTP MAIL + FROM envelope address set to the recipient address of the Sieve script owner. + Normally this is set to<>, which is the default as recommended in the + specification. This is meant to prevent mail loops. However, there are + situations for which a valid sender address is required and this setting can + be used to accommodate for those. + +Invalid values for the settings above will make the Sieve interpreter log a +warning and revert to the default values. + +See also <how vacation auto-reply uses addresses> [Pigeonhole.Sieve.Usage.txt]. + +Example +------- + +---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- +plugin { + # Use vacation-seconds + sieve_extensions = +vacation-seconds + + # One hour at minimum + sieve_vacation_min_period = 1h + + # Ten days default + sieve_vacation_default_period = 10d + + # Thirty days at maximum + sieve_vacation_max_period = 30d +} +---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +(This file was created from the wiki on 2019-06-19 12:42) |
