We have a mail server with a number of users. Each of these users would like to have the ability to setup vacation mail without having to SSH into the mail server. As a SysAdmin, i'd rather not have people SSHing into the mail server as well, for obvious reasons.

However, i cannot find a simple web-based (Perl-CGI or PHP) script for managing this.

Does anyone know of anything which may help?

Thanks in advance!

We do this by using mysql with exim, store the vacation message in the mysql table with the e-maill address it is used with. If you want I can dig out the config for this.

Apologies for hijacking fishsponge's thread but I am interested in this approach. Any help you can give on config would be much appreciated.
