You need to use the currentdate test, as provided by the date extension
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5260). A useful example is here:

Use the ":from" argument of the vacation command. This can also contain
the name (phrase) part of the email address:


require "vacation";

vacation :from "Stephan Bosch <stephan at example.org>" "I am on off-world.";
