Re: using sieve to inform users of a new address

[ali asad lotia]

sorry i am not at all familiar with sieve, i have read the rfc and the  
white paper, but would benefit greatly from the expertise of the folks  
in the list

Add ':addresses "old email address without domain" option to vacation.
with the line above, for a user [EMAIL PROTECTED] who is migrating to  
[EMAIL PROTECTED] would the script be:
require "vacation";
        if header :contains ["To", "Cc", "Bcc"] "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
        { vacation :addresses "foo"  "Please note, my new email address  
is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
                Please send email to this address in the future.";
        }

wouldnt this send out email to all users instead of just those who send  
mail to the old address? or does it only function based if the header  
test is passed?
or would this be the script:

require "vacation";
        if header :contains ["To", "Cc", "Bcc"] "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
        { vacation :addresses "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"  "Please note, my new email  
address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
                Please send email to this address in the future.";
        }

thanks

hello folks
i was wondering if it is possible to write a sieve script that sends   
mail to the address contained in the from header based on the   
information in the to header.
i am transitioning someone over to a new email account and so am   
forwarding all mail sent to her old address to this new address. i   
would like to send out a message to anyone sending mail to the old   
address that informs them of the new address. i used the following   
sieve script for that:
require "vacation";
        if header :contains "to" "enter old email address"
        { vacation "Please note, my new email address is   
NEW-EMAIL-ADDRESS.
                Please send email to this address in the future. ";
        }
it does not seem to send out email as i would like. any tips.
Add ':addresses "old email address without domain" option to vacation.
