Hi, Quoting "Nathanael D. Noblet" <nathanael@xxxxxxx>:
Hello, I have a mail server that we use cyrus-imap for. It works well enough. Stock package for RHEL 5 (cyrus-imapd-2.3.7-7.el5_4.3). Likely somewhat old. In anycase we've used sieve for server side filtering and it has worked well for years. We have a couple users however that would like to use the 'Vacation'/'Auto responding' features. The add the rule, however no auto response is ever attempted. There are no errors in the log, nada. I spent a few hours trying to get something but never did. Can anyone suggest what I should be doing to see why it isn't working? Any gotcha's or other pointers? Google has turned up many people with similar problems, but no answers. I could really use a hand with how to debug/track this down.
Configuring and debuging Vacation is a bit tricky. First you need to make sure cyrus is able to send emails. Do forwarding rules work for you? Second you need to add vacation to sieve_extensions in imapd.conf. and the script must contain a "require vacation" line at the beginning. Third, there are some measures to prevent mailloops and other not intended vacationmails. So to test you have to use different senderaddresses or delete the delivery DB for each try, and you have to configure the addresses of the recipient in the vacation rule. Hope that helps to debug the problem. Regards Michael
