I think the point that Ned made was that to do Out of Office processing
you expect the mail system to keep a database of recipients who have

using sieve but that would probably require extensions to maintain your
database.

I thought that sieve kind of made a vacation system surpufluous (sp?)?
Are are you talking about the mechanics behind vacation? If so,
could you spell out what you think those mechanics entail so we can
get a clear picture?
