Introduction + + This document defines an extension to the Sieve language defined in + [RFC5228] for notification that messages to a particular recipient + will not be answered immediately. + +2. Conventions Used in This Document + + Conventions for notations are as in [RFC5228] section 1.1. + + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "REQUIRED", + and "MAY" in this document are to be interpreted as defined in + [RFC2119]. + +3. Capability Identifier + + Sieve implementations that implement vacation have an identifier of + "vacation" for use with the capability mechanism. + +4. Vacation Action + + Usage: vacation [":days" number] [":subject" string] + [":from" string] [":addresses" string-list] + [":mime"] [":handle" string] <reason: string> + + The "vacation" action implements a vacation autoresponder similar to + the vacation command available under many versions of Unix. Its + purpose is to provide correspondents with notification that the user + is away for an extended period of time and that they should not + expect quick responses. + + "Vacation" is used to respond to a message with another message. + Vacation's messages are always addressed to the Return-Path address + (that is, the envelope from address) of the message being responded + to. + +4.1. Days Parameter + + The ":days" argument is used to specify the period in which addresses + are kept and are not responded to, and is always specified in days. + The minimum value used for this parameter is normally 1. Sites MAY + define a different minimum value as long as the minimum is greater + than 0. Sites MAY also define a maximum days value, which MUST be + greater than 7, and SHOULD be greater than 30. + + If ":days" is omitted, the default value is either 7 or the minimum + value (as defined above), whichever is greater. + + + + +Showalter & Freed Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 5230 Sieve: Vacation Extension January 2008 + + + If the parameter given to ":days" is less than the minimum value, + then the minimum value is used instead. + + If ":days" exceeds the site-defined maximum, the site-defined maximum + is used instead. + +4.2. Previous Response Tracking + + "Vacation" keeps track of all the responses it has sent to each + address in some period (as specified by the :days optional argument). + If vacation has not previously sent the response to this address + within the given time period, it sends the "reason" argument to the + SMTP MAIL FROM address [RFC2821] of the message that is being + responded to. (The SMTP MAIL FROM address should be available in the + Return-path: header field if Sieve processing occurs after final + delivery.) + + Tracking is not just per address, but must also take the vacation + response itself into account. A script writer might, for example, + have a vacation action that will send a general notice only once in + any two-week period. However, even if a sender has received this + general notice, it may be important to send a specific notice when a + message about something timely or something specific has been + detected. + + A particular vacation response can be identified in one of two ways. + The first way is via an explicit :handle argument, which attaches a + name to the response. All vacation statements that use the same + handle will be considered the same response for tracking purposes. + + The second way is via a synthesis of the :subject, :from, :mime, and + reason vacation command arguments. All vacation actions that do not + contain an explicit handle and that use an identical combination of + these arguments are considered the same for tracking purposes. + + For instance, if coyote@desert.example.org sends mail to + roadrunner@acme.example.com twice, once with the subject "Cyrus bug" + and once with the subject "come over for dinner", and + roadrunner@acme.example.com has the script shown below, + coyote@desert.example.org would receive two responses, one with the + first message, one with the second. + + require "vacation"; + if header :contains "subject" "cyrus" { + vacation "I'm out -- send mail to cyrus-bugs"; + } else { + vacation "I'm out -- call me at +1 304 555 0123"; + } + + + +Showalter & Freed Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 5230 Sieve: Vacation Extension January 2008 + + + In the above example, coyote@desert.example.org gets the second + message despite having gotten the first one because separate vacation + responses have been triggered. This behavior is REQUIRED. + + There is one important exception to this rule, however. If the Sieve + variables extension [RFC5229] is used, the arguments MUST NOT have + undergone variable expansion prior to their use in response tracking. + This is so that examples like the following script will only generate + a single response to each incoming message with a different subject + line. + + require ["vacation", "variables"]; + if header :matches "subject" "*" { + vacation :subject "Automatic response to: ${1}" + "I'm away -- send mail to foo in my absence"; + } + + As noted above, the optional ":handle" parameter can be used to tell + the Sieve interpreter to treat two vacation actions with different + arguments as the same command for purposes of response tracking. The + argument to ":handle" is a string that identifies the type of + response being sent. For instance, if tweety@cage.example.org sends + mail to spike@doghouse.example.com twice, one with the subject + "lunch?" and once with the subject "dinner?", and + spike@doghouse.example.com has the script shown below, + tweety@cage.example.org will only receive a single response. (Which + response is sent depends on the order in which the messages are + processed.) + + require "vacation"; + if header :contains "subject" "lunch" { + vacation :handle "ran-away" "I'm out and can't meet for lunch"; + } else { + vacation :handle "ran-away" "I'm out"; + } + + NOTE: One way to implement the necessary mechanism here is to store a + hash of either the current handle and the recipient address or, if no + handle is provided, a hash of the vacation action parameters + specifying the message content and the recipient address. If a + script is changed, implementations MAY reset the records of who has + been responded to and when they have been responded to. + + IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: Care must be taken in constructing a hash of + vacation action parameters. In particular, since most parameters are + optional, it is important not to let the same string used as the + value for different parameters produce the same hash value. One + + + + +Showalter & Freed Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 5230 Sieve: Vacation Extension January 2008 + + + possible way to accomplish this is to apply the hash to a series of + counted or null terminated strings, one for each possible parameter + in particular order. + + Implementations are free to limit the number of remembered responses; + however, the limit MUST NOT be less than 1000. When limiting the + number of tracked responses, implementations SHOULD discard the + oldest ones first. + +4.3. Subject and From Parameters + + The ":subject" parameter specifies a subject line to attach to any + vacation response that is generated. UTF-8 characters can be used in + the string argument; implementations MUST convert the string to + [RFC2047] encoded words if and only if non-ASCII characters are + present. Implementations MUST generate an appropriate default + subject line as specified below if no :subject parameter is + specified. + + A ":from" parameter may be used to specify an alternate address to + use in the From field of vacation messages. The string must specify + a valid [RFC2822] mailbox-list. Implementations SHOULD check the + syntax and generate an error when a syntactically invalid ":from" + parameter is specified. Implementations MAY also impose restrictions + on what addresses can specified in a ":from" parameter; it is + suggested that values that fail such a validity check simply be + ignored rather than cause the vacation action to fail. + +4.4. MIME Parameter + + The ":mime" parameter, if supplied, specifies that the reason string + is, in fact, a MIME entity as defined in [RFC2045] section 2.4, + including both MIME headers and content. + + If the optional :mime parameter is not supplied, the reason string is + considered a UTF-8 string. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Showalter & Freed Standards Track [Page 6] + +RFC 5230 Sieve: Vacation Extension January 2008 + + + require "vacation"; + vacation :mime text: + Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=foo + + --foo + + I'm at the beach relaxing. Mmmm, surf... + + --foo + Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii + + <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd"> + <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>How to relax</TITLE> + <BASE HREF="http://home.example.com/pictures/"></HEAD> + <BODY><P>I'm at the <A HREF="beach.gif">beach</A> relaxing. + Mmmm, <A HREF="ocean.gif">surf</A>... + </BODY></HTML> + + --foo-- + . + +4.5. Address Parameter and Limiting Replies to Personal Messages + + "Vacation" MUST NOT respond to a message unless the recipient user's + email address is in a "To", "Cc", "Bcc", "Resent-To", "Resent-Cc", or + "Resent-Bcc" line of the original message. An email address is + considered to belong to the recipient if it is one of: + + 1. an email address known by the implementation to be associated + with the recipient, + + 2. the final envelope recipient address if it's available to the + implementation, or + + 3. an address specified by the script writer via the ":addresses" + argument described in the next paragraph. + + Users can supply additional mail addresses that are theirs with the + ":addresses" argument, which takes a string-list listing additional + addresses that a user might have. These addresses are considered to + belong to the recipient user in addition to the addresses known to + the implementation. + + + + + + + + +Showalter & Freed Standards Track [Page 7] + +RFC 5230 Sieve: Vacation Extension January 2008 + + +4.6. Restricting Replies to Automated Processes and Mailing Lists + + Implementations MAY refuse to send a vacation response to a message + that contains any header or content that makes it appear that a + response would not be appropriate. + + Implementations MUST have a list of addresses that "vacation" MUST + NOT send mail to. However, the contents of this list are + implementation defined. The purpose of this list is to stop mail + from going to addresses used by system daemons that would not care if + the user is actually reading her mail. + + Implementations are encouraged, however, to include well-known + addresses like "MAILER-DAEMON", "LISTSERV", "majordomo", and other + addresses typically used only by automated systems. Additionally, + addresses ending in "-request" or beginning in "owner-", i.e., + reserved for mailing list software, are also suggested. + + Implementors may take guidance from [RFC2142], but should be careful. + Some addresses, like "POSTMASTER", are generally actually managed by + people, and people do care if the user is going to be unavailable. + + Implementations SHOULD NOT respond to any message that contains a + "List-Id" [RFC2919], "List-Help", "List-Subscribe", "List- + Unsubscribe", "List-Post", "List-Owner", or "List-Archive" [RFC2369] + header field. + + Implementations SHOULD NOT respond to any message that has an "Auto- + submitted" header field with a value other than "no". This header + field is described in [RFC3834]. + +4.7. Interaction with Other Sieve Actions + + Vacation does not affect Sieve's implicit keep action. + + Vacation can only be executed once per script. A script MUST fail + with an appropriate error if it attempts to execute two or more + vacation actions. + + Implementations MUST NOT consider vacation used with discard, keep, + fileinto, or redirect an error. The vacation action is incompatible + with the Sieve reject and refuse actions [REJECT]. + + + + + + + + + +Showalter & Freed Standards Track [Page 8] + +RFC 5230 Sieve: Vacation Extension January 2008 + + +4.8. Examples + + Here is a simple use of vacation. + + require "vacation"; + vacation :days 23 :addresses ["tjs@example.edu", + "ts4z@landru.example.edu"] + "I'm away until October 19. + If it's an emergency, call 911, I guess." ; + + By mingling vacation with other rules, users can do something more + selective. + + require "vacation"; + if header :contains "from" "boss@example.edu" { + redirect "pleeb@isp.example.org"; + } else { + vacation "Sorry, I'm away, I'll read your + message when I get around to it."; + } + +5. Response Message Generation + + This section details the requirements for the generated response + message. + + It is worth noting that the input message and arguments may be in + UTF-8, and that implementations MUST deal with UTF-8 input, although + implementations MAY transcode to other character sets as regional + taste dictates. When :mime is used, the reason argument also + contains MIME header information. The headers must conform to MIME + conventions; in particular, 8bit text is not allowed. + Implementations SHOULD reject vacation :mime actions containing 8bit + header material. + +5.1. SMTP MAIL FROM Address + + The SMTP MAIL FROM address of the message envelope SHOULD be set to + <>. NOTIFY=NEVER SHOULD also be set in the RCPT TO line during the + SMTP transaction if the NOTARY SMTP extension [RFC3461] is available. + +5.2. Date + + The Date field SHOULD be set to the date and time when the vacation + response was generated. Note that this may not be the same as the + time the message was delivered to the user. + + + + + +Showalter & Freed Standards Track [Page 9] + +RFC 5230 Sieve: Vacation Extension January 2008 + + +5.3. Subject + + Users can specify the Subject of the reply with the ":subject" + parameter. If the :subject parameter is not supplied, then the + subject is generated as follows: The subject is set to the characters + "Auto: " followed by the original subject. An appropriate fixed + Subject, such as "Automated reply", SHOULD be used in the event that + :subject isn't specified and the original message doesn't contain a + Subject field. + +5.4. From + + Unless explicitly overridden with a :from parameter, the From field + SHOULD be set to the address of the owner of the Sieve script. + +5.5. To + + The To field SHOULD be set to the address of the recipient of the + response. + +5.6. Auto-Submitted + + An Auto-Submitted field with a value of "auto-replied" SHOULD be + included in the message header of any vacation message sent. + +5.7. Message Body + + The body of the message is taken from the reason string in the + vacation command. + +5.8. In-Reply-To and References + + Replies MUST have the In-Reply-To field set to the Message-ID of the + original message, and the References field SHOULD be updated with the + Message-ID of the original message. + + If the original message lacks a Message-ID, an In-Reply-To need not + be generated, and References need not be changed. + + Section 3.6.4 of [RFC2822] provides a complete description of how + References fields should be generated. + + + + + + + + + + +Showalter & Freed Standards Track [Page 10] + +RFC 5230 Sieve: Vacation Extension January 2008 + + +6. Relationship to Recommendations for Automatic Responses to + Electronic Mail + + The vacation extension implements a "Personal Responder" in the + terminology defined in [RFC3834]. Care has been taken in this + specification to comply with the recommendations of [RFC3834] + regarding how personal responders should behave. + +7. Internationalization Considerations + + Internationalization capabilities provided by the base Sieve language + are discussed in [RFC5228]. However, the vacation extension is the + first Sieve extension to be defined that is capable of creating + entirely new messages. This section deals with internationalization + issues raised by the use of the vacation extension. + + Vacation messages are normally written using the UTF-8 charset, + allowing text to be written in most of the world's languages. + Additionally, the :mime parameter allows specification of arbitrary + MIME content. In particular, this makes it possible to use + multipart/alternative objects to specify vacation responses in + multiple languages simultaneously. + + The Sieve language itself allows a vacation response to be selected + based on the content of the original message. For example, the + Accept-Language or Content-Language header fields [RFC3282] could be + checked and used to select appropriate text: + + require "vacation"; + if header :contains ["accept-language", "content-language"] "en" + { + vacation "I am away this week."; + } else { + vacation "Estoy ausente esta semana."; + } + + Note that this rather simplistic test of the field values fails to + take the structure of the fields into account and hence could be + fooled by some more complex field values. A more elaborate test + could be used to deal with this problem. + + The approach of explicitly coding language selection criteria in + scripts is preferred because in many cases language selection issues + are conflated with other selection issues. For example, it may be + appropriate to use informal text in one language for vacation + responses sent to a fellow employee while using more formal text in a + different language in a response sent to a total stranger outside the + company: + + + +Showalter & Freed Standards Track [Page 11] + +RFC 5230 Sieve: Vacation Extension January 2008 + + + require "vacation"; + if address :matches "from" "*@ourdivision.example.com" + { + vacation :subject "Gone fishing" + "Having lots of fun! Back in a day or two!"; + } else { + vacation :subject "Je suis parti cette semaine" + "Je lirai votre message quand je retourne."; + } + + IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: A graphical Sieve generation interface could in + principle be used to hide the complexity of specifying response + selection criteria from end users. Figuring out the right set of + options to present in a graphical interface is likely a nontrivial + proposition, but this is more because of the need to employ a variety + of criteria to select different sorts of responses to send to + different classes of people than because of the issues involved in + selecting a response in an appropriate language. + +8. Security Considerations + + It is critical that implementations correctly implement the behavior + and restrictions described throughout this document. Replies MUST + NOT be sent out in response to messages not sent directly to the + user, and replies MUST NOT be sent out more often than the :days + argument states unless the script changes. + + If mail is forwarded from a site that uses subaddressing, it may be + impossible to list all recipient addresses with ":addresses". + + Security issues associated with mail auto-responders are fully + discussed in the security considerations section of [RFC3834]. This + document is believed not to introduce any additional security + considerations in this general area. + +9.
