It is just a sieve rule.

On disk default file .dovecot.sieve
2. I am using roundcube webmail for that.
3. with if false # true
# rule:[Out of Office]
if true
{
vacation :days 1 :subject "Test" "test test";
}

Subject: Vacation sieve explained: how does it work?
Hi all,
I have a legacy system that uses gnarwl to handle vacation messages,
most specifically the vacation messages are stored in LDAP. We have a
web based tool that allows people to update their vacation message, all
they’re doing is modifying LDAP.
I am trying to find out if dovecot’s vacation sieve can do the same
thing. I am struggling however to find something that describes to me
how dovecot vacation sieve is configured. Is there a howto or
walkthrough anywhere?
Specific burning questions:
- If I was to configure the dovecot vacation sieve, where is the body of
each vacation message stored? File on disk? In a store like an LDAP
store? Somewhere else?
- How is the body of vacation message modified? Does this happen
through the IMAP protocol, a command line tool, something else?
- How is the vacation message switched on and off? Does this happen
through the IMAP protocol, a command line tool, or something else?
The docs at
https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Extensions/Vacation describe
how to control how often the vacation messages are sent, but very little
else. I am very confused :(
Regards,
Graham
