[Dovecot] Sieve: Vacation, handle and variable

[René Neumann]

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}";
}
