dovecot - Aug 2010 - Vacation - out of office

Hi all,

is it possible to install/activate a "out of office" messages for each
user in dovecot?

I've read about the Sieve scripts, but can't find a howto to install it 
on your dovecot 1.0.7 installation.

http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve
...
With v1.1 it's possible to include other Sieve scripts in your script
...

I know, its an old release, so don't treat me like a dog ;-).
Upgrade to the newest version will be done at the next maintenance windows.

many thanks
Richard

Yes, sieve, managesieve, and custom webmail/imap clients using 
managesieve will allow  numerous ways to manipulate messages, including 
automatically storing spam in the spam folder, using a header or subject 
check,  vacation response,  redirecting, and more. We sell Voip and give 
out the e-mail accounts for the customers to receive voicemail in; sieve 
automatically moves voice messages e-mailed by asterisk to their 
Voicemail folder.

As a quick howto, you have to install dovecot with your config options 
to include --enable-header-install so that the development libraries 
will be available to sieve and managesieve, the same with sieve for 
managesieve to have sieve's libraries. The managesieve version will be 
appropriate to the dovecot version you have, of 
dovecot-x.x.x-managesieve-(chosen version) where x.x.x is the dovecot 
version you chose.

Let the list know if you need anymore help!

is there another solution available than sieve?
As I read, sieve works only with dovecot 1.1 and above.

At the moment, we are running v 1.0.7.
and I need a "out of office" solution for our running version of
dovecot.

procmail/sendmail is also installed.

Upgrade to the newest version is at the moment not possible.

many thanks
