What I'd like is to be able to set a company (domain-wide) auto-response for when our company is closed for holidays... more specifically, extra holidays (often the boss will close an extra day for an extra long weekend). He has asked more than once about setting an auto-response for *everyone* during these periods...
I would be very careful about doing that. You will wind up on the spam blocker lists & have a hell of a time getting back off them.
If it works exactly the same as normal vacation messages - doesn't auto-reply to any type of list or other auto generated content, and only replies once per day per sender (and for this company wide responder if the same sender sends to more than one of our addresses, they only get ONE response, not one for each recipient - why would doing this at the company/domain level be any different?
When you do this at delivery time (via Sieve), the sender gets one vacation response per recipient once in the configured period.
If you setup a domain wide vacation responder at incoming level (aka postfix), the sender might get one central response and one per recipient, who setup a resonse on his/her own. (Say, because s/he is ill, on holiday, missed the global vacation setting or whatever.)
Well, besides, it might be a nice extension for a global Sieve script, to choose from a dupe database, usually ~user/.dovecot.lda-dupes, _and_ the information, whether or not the current script already resonded. Then you could add an global "after" script, that makes the usual no-respond tests (bulk, spam, ...) and if no response by current script alreade and use a domain-wide lda-dupes file.
