My HR department is having a problem with their Sieve script. They want
job applicants to receive an autoreply *every time* someone emails
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Right now applicants are sometimes confused
because they receive a reply for the first job they apply for, but if
they apply for a second job on the same day they don't get a reply.
Some worried applicants call to make sure their second or third
applications were received.
I think I understand the reason for this behavior (the Sieve behavior
that is, not the job applicants'). According to the "Days Parameter"
section of
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-sieve-vacation-06.txt our
site-defined minimum value for the "days" argument must be greater than
0. So a minimum of 1 day must go by before the same email address
receives the autoreply.
Am I reading this right? Is there a way to make my Cyrus IMAP 2.2.12
server send an autoreply every time someone emails [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Not using vacation. Its designed specifically so that people don't get
multiple replies within :days period. There has been talk of an
'autoreply' extension to Sieve, but its never gone anywhere.
Hmm. Actually, vacation responses are per-sender, per-vacation text.
If you had different vacation text for each job listing, then people
would get a response for each.
