I've just downloaded the vacation module (I'm using Postfix / LDAP on 
Solaris).  It appears to have good support for LDAP.  The important thing 
to know is that it is NOT a vacation program -- rather, it is a front end 
for some existing vacation program.  That is, it gives your users access to 
the pertinent database fields so that they can set up their vacation info.

What makes the module slick is that the same front end supports .forward 
files, .qmail files, and DB back ends.  This is handy if you have (or 
expect to have) a heterogenous set of mail servers.  In my case, I have 
virtual mailboxes configured in an LDAP DB.  I could just create a simple 
web page to allow users to edit the pertinent vacation data.  But I like 
the Horde platform, and I expect that using as much of it as possible I 
will benefit from the future work of a lot of smart people.

As an OT aside:  I'm looking at yaa (Yet Another Autoresponder) for my 
back-end vacation program.  I'm curious as to what other folks are using 
with Solaris.
