Hello, I'd like to be able to set the From line on sieve/vacation replies by hand. For historical reasons, people's login IDs do not equal people's email addresses, and sieve/vacation simply replies as the mailbox name (in my case "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"), but in general that address isn't valid, and it should reply as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". I was really hoping that vacation would take a ":from" parameter, but it doesn't seem to.
vacation is actually using the envelope recipient as the contents of the From: header. This is no easy way to do this short of modifying the source to do a lookup of some recipient/userid mapping.
This could probably be done in v2.2 by adding a mailbox annotation which corresponds to the user's "real" email address.
Ken, Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I'm using v2.1.5 (the -BETA tag scared me away from v2.2 for now). I was hoping that the "easy way" was an extra option in the vacation syntax, like: :from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Feel free to add it as a local modification, but since its not part of the current Sieve/vacation draft, we probably won't add it to CVS. You could also suggest such an addition on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, but I'm not sure how it will be received.
