The autoreply transport option "once" says to keep track of who
autoreplies where sent to and only send them once.
I would like to extend this capability slightly.
First I would like a new option that specifies the number of days that
must elapse before another message will be sent. The default should be
zero which would be interpreted as never send an additional message.
Second I would like to be able use a single file to record messages
sent. So optionally the key would have to be constructed from the original
destination address and the reply address instead of just using
the reply address.
Finally I would like to be able to store this information in a directory
server using LDAP. The current ldap lookup is generic enough that the
test for checking if vacation processing should be done, getting the
last time a message was sent, the reply text, etc can already be done.
I would be happy to contribute some code to update the directory server
with the last sent information. This would require one configuration
parameter (ldap URL specifying host, connection credentials, attribute
name) and the calling parameters would include the two addresses and
timestamp.
