Hello All:

After all the responses I received on this post, I installed 'Vacation' as
follows:

-Download Sieve Plugin from http://www.dovecot.org/download.html  into
'Desktop'. 

-Compile Sieve Plugin with Dovecot:
	% cd Desktop
	% tar zxfv dovecot-sieve-?.?.?.tar.gz
	% cd dovecot-sieve-?.?.?
	% ./configure --with-dovecot=../dovecot-?.?.?
	Note: We have the find the V# of Dovecot!
	% make
	% make install

-Edit '/etc/dovecot.conf':
	protocol  lda	{
		mail_plugins	= 	cmusieve
	}

-Create a file ".dovecot.sieve" in '/home/test/' & add the following in this
file:
-------------------------------------------------------
	require ["fileinto", "vacation"];
# Move spam to spam folder
if exists "X-Spam-Flag" {
  fileinto "spam";
  # Stop here so that we do not reply on spams
  stop;
}
vacation
  # Reply at most once a day to a same sender
  :days 1
  :subject "Out of office reply"
  # List of recipient addresses which are included in the auto replying.
  # If a mail's recipient is not on this list, no vacation reply is sent for
it.
  :addresses [test at tib.com]
"I'm out of office, please contact Joan Doe instead.
Best regards
Test Msg"; 

-Restart  'httpd'.

-------------------------------------------------------

Results: I do not receive 'Auto Response'.  Can somebody look at the above
and see what am I doing wrong?

I have also tried by adding the above file into '/home/test/Maildir/'
without success.

This is my first install of 'Vacation'.

Thanks.

Kirti
