The script is at http://devil.research.at/. Its main purpose is to enable/disable and edit vacation messages. If you speak Perl it would not be difficult to get it to do other things. It uses ftp to contact the mail server host though, using the user's username and password. With a shell of /bin/false, that could be a problem depending on the ftp server config. Proftpd can deal with it, keeping security issues in mind.
