Summary: More flexible vacation module regarding mailsever definition
Initial Comment:
The currently used Mail::sendmail module is very limited regarding the configuration of SMTP server data. You can't define:
- SMTP port
- SMTP username
- SMTP password
- SMTP authentication
I am using Postfix as my MTA and using virtual vacation is a no-go for me since I do sender mismatch checking and with the currently used Mail::sendmail in virtual vacation I can use virtual vacation on my setup.
I would like to replace the Mail::sendmail module with Mail::Sender which is offering much more flexibility then Mail::sendmail. Should I send a patch to virtual vacation v4 using Mail::Sender for sending mails? Is the above mentioned functionality useful for other people? How high are the chances to get such a patch merged into Postfix.Admin?

Can't you just override the sender_mismatch restriction for the vacation
service? Or maybe you can't do that with pipes?
Anyway, this sounds good... thanks for the contrib, Steve!

Cool. Thanks for the quick reply. I'm no perl pro, so I'm sure much could
be improved. I hadn't heard of mail::sender before either. Keep the patches
coming, will try and read/merge this evening

Hallo David
Here a very quick shot of a patch. From my viewpoint many things could be
made better. The whole enconding part could be made less depended on
external modules since Mail::Sender has them built in. I will anyway post
the patch but work later on it to make it more flexible.
Kind Regards from Switzerland
Steve
