I've never had need of any sort of vacation program before, but I am
going to be gone for a week at the end of this month and there is one
account that I need to have some sort of vacation auto-response on.
1) The account has a couple of mailing list subscriptions
2) The account is on a postfix/Courier-IMAP server with procmail
So long as procmail is getting the messages, what should it matter

Couldn’t think how it could, but wanted to provide as much info as
possible; for all I know courier-imap has a built-in vacation handler.
From my 13 year old implementation (which hasn't been used since I

E-yup. Choir here, preaching to. I hate em, and I've never used one
before despite having real email (that is, Internet email) for over 20
years. I seem to be stuck this time though, unless I can figure
something else out in the next 3 weeks.
The canned vacation text should include areacodes (and poss country
code) for phone numbers if any are provided, and actual DATES, not
day-of-week. Time references should include the timezone.
Ah, Dates, good idea.
Thanks again.
