We like our users, and they like us :)

We’re pulling the value of the vacation message like this:

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

So far the sieve that I have looks like this:

#

require ["fileinto", "mailbox"];
require ["vacation", "variables"];

# fileinto: for putting mail into a imap folder
# mailbox: for creating imap folder if not exists
#
if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" {
    # move mail into folder Junk, create folder if not exists
    fileinto :create "Junk";
    stop;
}

if string :matches "${mail_auto_reply_mode}" "reply" {
    if header :matches "subject" "*" {
        vacation :subject "AutoReply: ${1}"
            "${mail_auto_reply_text}";
    }
}

And sieve-test looks like this:

sieve-test(root): Debug: sieve: Pigeonhole version 0.5.8 (b7b03ba2) initializing
sieve-test(root): Debug: sieve: include: sieve_global is not set; it is currently not possible to include `:global' scripts.
debug: file storage: Using Sieve script path: /var/lib/dovecot-sieve/default.sieve.
debug: file script: Opened script `default' from `/var/lib/dovecot-sieve/default.sieve'.
debug: Script binary /var/lib/dovecot-sieve/default.svbin successfully loaded.
debug: binary save: not saving binary /var/lib/dovecot-sieve/default.svbin, because it is already stored.

Performed actions:

  (none)

Implicit keep:

 * store message in folder: INBOX

sieve-test(root): Info: final result: success

Effectively no vacation message was detected.

Is the variable syntax or ${mail_auto_reply_text} correct, or is there a namespace I should be using?

Graham
