It is just a sieve rule.

1. On disk default file .dovecot.sieve

2. I am using roundcube webmail for that.

3. with if false # true

rule:[Out of Office]

if true { vacation :days 1 :subject "Test" "test test"; }

Is there a way to inject variables from the userdb into the above?

For example, if I was to pass the vacation message attribute through the userdb lookup, could I then test if the variable was present, and then embed that variable in the message?

You can do whatever you like, as long as the result is this 'text' file. I have also bash file that modifies this file for users. You can make a 5 min cron job that detects changes in ldap and then creates the sieve rule.

I've tried the cronjob approach before, and people didn’t like the delay.

I have found the extra fields being queried from the userdb,

user_attrs = mailMessageStore=home=%$,=mail_auto_reply_mode=%{ldap:mailAutoReplyMode},=mail_auto_reply_text=%{ldap:mailAutoReplyText}

Is it possible to confirm how the mail_auto_reply_mode variable would be available in sieve? Is it just a case of referring to ${mail_auto_reply_mode} or is there more to it than that?

If people cannot deal with a delay of a minute or five, increase the interval to 12 hours, or even better, "changes will take affect at 6am the next business day."

That'll learn ‘em.

We like our users, and they like us :)

We’re pulling the value of the vacation message like this:

user_attrs = mailMessageStore=home=%$,=mail_auto_reply_mode=%{ldap:mailAutoReplyMode},=mail_auto_reply_text=%{ldap:mailAutoReplyText}

So far the sieve that I have looks like this:

require ["fileinto", "mailbox"]; require ["vacation", "variables"];

fileinto: for putting mail into a imap folder

mailbox: for creating imap folder if not exists

if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { # move mail into folder Junk, create folder if not exists fileinto :create "Junk"; stop; }

if string :matches "${mail_auto_reply_mode}" "reply" { if header :matches "subject" "*" { vacation :subject "AutoReply: ${1}" "${mail_auto_reply_text}"; } }

And sieve-test looks like this:

sieve-test(root): Debug: sieve: Pigeonhole version 0.5.8 (b7b03ba2) initializing sieve-test(root): Debug: sieve: include: sieve_global is not set; it is currently not possible to include :global' scripts. debug: file storage: Using Sieve script path: /var/lib/dovecot-sieve/default.sieve. debug: file script: Opened script default' from `/var/lib/dovecot-sieve/default.sieve'. debug: Script binary /var/lib/dovecot-sieve/default.svbin successfully loaded. debug: binary save: not saving binary /var/lib/dovecot-sieve/default.svbin, because it is already stored.

Performed actions:

(none)

Implicit keep:

• store message in folder: INBOX

sieve-test(root): Info: final result: success

Effectively no vacation message was detected.

Is the variable syntax or ${mail_auto_reply_text} correct, or is there a namespace I should be using?

Thanks for confirming this - it will need some updates to our LDAP, but this is another thing for us to try.
