Topic: vacation/auto-responder capability

[Patrick Hickey]

Without necessarily going into a full tilt procmail install, it would be great to have vacation/auto responder capability on a per user account basis.

Most users expect this level of functionality if they use email for any period of time.

thanks.

regards,

patrick

There is a contribution that does exactly that.  Have a look at the user contributed HOWTOS

I've replied installed this procedure, and it looks fine.  The only problem is that I get a "Error occurred while modifying user." every time I modify the settings.  What are the appropriate ownerships (both individual and group) for each of these settings? Is there anything else I MIGHT want to check in the published procedures?  Also, since I'm running 5.1.2, does it just NOT work on the current version?
