Summary: End user customization of header strings
Initial Comment:
Hi all,
I've been meaning to post this FR for a while...
How hard would it be to provide the ability to configure the header strings that the vacation.pl script uses to determine when NOT to send a vacation auto-response?
For example, in ASSP (also a perl script), in the GUI interface, it has options that have a textbox that can take either a reference to a file - ie, file:filename, where each line in the file would be a different string, or just a comma separated list of strings...
(see attached for an example of how this looks in the ASSP GUI)
This way, non-programmers like myself would have the ability to adjust these values, and add to (or subtract from) them, without having to resort to trying to edit the actual vacation.pl script.

Here is an example of an email that our system sent a vacation response to
this morning that should not have been sent:
mailhost : Fri Oct 07, 15:52:48 : ~

If I could easily add 'email-bounces' string to a list of - call them
'veto strings' - used to determine when not to send a vacation message,
this would be easily handled, but alas, it isn't...
Any ideas anyone on how to do this? I don't even mind a way to do it
manually by directly adding a new line to the vacation.pl script, but my
earlier attempts at doing that failed...
Ultimately though, I really think there should be a simple way to do this
via the GUI...

Me neither... ;) thats why I included the link to the assp projects example
gui page...
I was hoping someone could use the assp.pl script as an example of how to
do it...
ASSP project download page is:

it's probably not difficult to do, although i'm not sure I know a good way
to do it in perl....
