handling mail for users on vacation

2007-12-13 15:02:48
(I'm not talking about auto-responses that reply to the sender saying "so and
so is on holidays until ...")

When staff go on holidays, to date I have set up a procmail rule that forwards
their mail to a designated user who will handle their correspondence while
they're away.  It's been pretty much manually applying the rule when they leave
and manually removing it when they get back.

Does anyone have a little more automatic method/workflow of doing it?  A
script?  I was thinking something that takes the username, start holiday date,
end holiday date, and designated username.  How do you get it to expire when
they're back?  Cronjobs?
