 From what I've seen of the sieve RFCs, there's no provision for setting 
this.  (Or has that been added?)

I also run into this request regularly with my users who want their 
vacation replies to turn on at 2pm Friday and turn off at 9am Monday.  
Which currently means that someone has to babysit the sieve scripts.

Ideally, it would be an option to the vacation element (i.e. "start 
time" and "end time").  The reason that a start/end time would be useful 
is in the case of where someone wants to setup their vacation replies 
ahead of time, and have them automatically enable/disable for the 
specified time period.

(apologies for continuing an old thread, but I'm curious)
