[Dovecot] Sieve: Vacation, handle and variable
Hi *,
I am adding a generic way for vacation-replies in my sieve setup. There I set the handle and the reason using variables (see end of mail). My simple question now is: Though variable expansion is not done for subject and reason, is it done for the handle? Because else there seems no way in configuring the vacation action via variables.
I tried to read the code for this extension, but ... well ... the whole sieve implementation is way more complicated then I figured ^^. Thus I take the question to the list.
Thanks, René
----- default.sieve -----
require [..., "include", "variables"];
# set this to the text you want to get included in the vacation-mail global ["vacation", "vhandle"];
set "vhandle" ""; set "vacation" "";
[...]
include :personal "vacation";
----- vacation.sieve -----
require ["variables", "include", "vacation"];
# this is set in the including script global ["vacation", "vhandle"];
if string :is "${vacation}" "" { return; }
# ensure we have a handle if string :is "${vhandle}" "" { set "vhandle" "${vacation}"; }
if header :matches "subject" "*" { set "sbj" "Out of office [was: ${1}]";
vacation :addresses [...]
:from "..." :days 7 :handle "${vhandle}"
:subject "${sbj}" "${vacation}";}

Ok. I just learned about sieve-test. And this shows me:
- send vacation message: => seconds : 604800 => subject: FooSubj => from : ... => handle : ${vhandle}
So the handle does not expand variables. Hence: Would it be possible to add for example a non-standard ":expand list" option to vacation, where 'list' contains the names of the options where it is safe to do variable-expansion?

No need. This is a violation of the standard and it was actually a long standing FIXME already. Fortunately, it was quite simple to repair:

This will be included in the next release.

Thanks a lot. I'll try it out.

Ok ... seems to work like a charm :) (that is: pigeonhole-0.2.4 with the above patch applied).
Thanks again, René
