Re: ldap and sendmail integration, vacation messages

[wes@umich.edu]

We do this.  mail500 (presumably maildap) has hooks to check the onVacation 
attribute.  There's another problem vacmail500, derived from the common 
Unix vacation program, that acts as a sendmail mailer and handles vacation 
message delivery.  Not sure if OpenLDAP is distributing it, but I have it 
if someone wants it.
