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.

Regards,

Stephan.
