Re: "Vacation" command for postfix

[Samir Faci <samir@esamir.com>]

procmail is really powerful, though a bit difficult to read sometimes.

maildrop is another similar alternative, that's "supposed" to be more
readable.  It essentially provides the same functionality, though I
think procmail is definitely the more popular one.

There's also anubis (http://www.gnu.org/software/anubis/)  that I
stumbled upon, which I know nothing about, but love the name.  :>
