[sork] Horde Vacation with Berkeley DB 1.85

[Matthew Maddox]

I have been attempting to setup Horde Vacation with no success.

OS: Solaris 10 SPARC

Horde applications installed:

Horde 3.3.5
IMP H3 4.3.5
Turba H3 2.3.2
DIMP H3 1.1.3
Ingo H3 1.2.2
Vacation H3 3.2

Horde Vacation conf.php:

$conf['vacation']['path'] = '/usr/bin/vacation';
$conf['vacation']['default_subject'] = _("I am out of the office.");
$conf['vacation']['default_message'] = _("I'm on vacation and will not be
reading my mail for a while.\nYour mail will be dealt with when I return.");
$conf['vacation']['subject'] = true; $conf['vacation']['from'] = false;
$conf['server']['params']['default']['host'] = 'my email server is here';
$conf['server']['params']['default']['port'] = 21;
$conf['server']['params']['default']['pasv'] = false;
$conf['server']['params']['default']['ssl'] = false;
$conf['server']['params']['default']['hordeauth'] = true;
$conf['server']['params']['default']['norealm'] = true;
$conf['server']['params']['default']['dbtype'] = 'hash';
$conf['server']['driver'] = 'forwards'; $conf['aliases']['show'] = false;
$conf['aliases']['driver'] = 'none'; $conf['user']['refused'] =
array('root', 'bin', 'daemon', 'adm', 'lp', 'shutdown', 'halt', 'uucp',
'ftp', 'anonymous', 'nobody', 'httpd', 'operator', 'guest', 'diginext',
'bind', 'cyrus', 'courier',
  'games', 'kmem', 'mailnull', 'man', 'mysql', 'news', 'postfix', 'sshd',
'tty', 'www'); $conf['menu']['apps'] = array();

When I set the vacation message using Horde Vacation and test by sending an
email to my own email address, I receive the following error message:


ERROR: Your message could not be delivered.
The mail server generated the following error message:

     The original message was received at Tue, 15 Dec 2009 14:20:37 -0600

        ----- Transcript of session follows -----
     501 5.6.0 Data format error

I researched this error and found this could be a permission issue.  I
double checked that all files (.vacation.msg .forward and
.vacation.db) had the correct permissions.
that are created by the "vacation -i" command on the email server and by the
Horde Vacation.  I noticed the versions are different.  I believe this is
causing my issue see below:

Created by "vacation  -i" command on email server:
.vacation.db: Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order)

Created by Horde Vacation:
.vacation.db: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 5, native byte-order)

I have compiled Berkeley DB with 1.85 support but I am still receiving this
same error message.

Can anyone assist me in adding Berkeley DB 1.85 support to Horde Vacation?
Also, is there a way to pass the host information into Horde Vacation from
LDAP?

Thanks,
Matthew
