I've tried the cronjob approach before, and people didn’t like the delay.

I have found the extra fields being queried from the userdb, 

user_attrs = mailMessageStore=home=%$,=mail_auto_reply_mode=%{ldap:mailAutoReplyMode},=mail_auto_reply_text=%{ldap:mailAutoReplyText}

Is it possible to confirm how the mail_auto_reply_mode variable would be available in sieve? Is it just a case of referring to ${mail_auto_reply_mode} or is there more to it than that?
