dovecot - Dec 2011 - master user only for sieve

Changes in SOGo is forcing me to define a master user, so that SOGo can
disable sieve out-of-office processing on a given date. I'm not too
happy about having master users that are allowed to read the users
messages, so is it possible to define a master user that can only log in
trough manage-sieve?

I must say I don't really know about that.

However, I do have a suggestion for a different approach. You can define 
a vacation response action with an expiry date, as follows:

require ["date", "relational", "vacation"];

if currentdate :value "le" "date" "2011-12-09" {
        vacation "I'm out of office this week. I'll be back on
Saturday
10th to reply to your e-mails.";
}

This means that there is no need to remove the vacation rule explicitly. 
It is inactive and can be removed at a (much) later time. You can also 
plan vacation responses in the future using the same method.

Of course, the question is whether the SoGo GUI supports something like 
this, but I think it should.

I have the following for 1.2. You may search the list archive, I asked that
question about halv a year ago and Timo answererd it for both 1.2 and 2.0.

auth default {
[...]
  # Master-Benutzer f?r Sieve.
  # Wirkt nur f?r Sieve, weil es master.imap und master.pop nicht gibt.
  passdb passwd-file {
    master = yes
    args = DOVECOT_CONFDIR/master.%s
    # kein pass = yes, weil das bei LDAP-Authentication-Binds nicht geht.
  }
[...]
}

And a master.sieve file containing
sievemaster:{SHA}......
