You can use the currentdate test introduced by date extension. RFC5260 
shows the following example on page 6:

==
    Currentdate can be used to set up vacation [RFC5230] responses in
    advance and to stop response generation automatically:

      require ["date", "relational", "vacation"];
      if allof(currentdate :value "ge" "date" "2007-06-30",
               currentdate :value "le" "date" "2007-07-07")
      { vacation :days 7  "I'm away during the first week in July."; }
