[Dovecot] Sieve Vacation virtual support?
Hello,
I'm wanting to enable vacation messages for my users on a new dovecot server that I'm playing with, but want to know if the Dovecot LDA+Sieve vacation message function
http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve
will work with virtual users? For security reasons, I only want to use virtual domains/users.
Thanks...

Dovecot doesn't really think about users as "virtual" or "non-virtual". Sieve works as long as the userdb returns a home directory for the users. It doesn't matter where the home directory is, as long as there is one.

Ahh... so each users sieve script (and related files) would simply be sotred in that users virtual/maildir directory?

Yea, although it's better not to have home directory be in the maildir root since the created files conflict with the mailbox namespace (eg. you can't create "dovecot.sieve" named mailbox, and that file might actually show up as a non-selectable mailbox). You could instead use eg. Maildir/home as the home dir.

Perfect... thanks!
