Gnarwl is an LDAP based autoresponder program.  http://www.home.unix-ag.org/patrick/index.php?gnarwl

It's a nice little program imo.

What I can do is go through the Exim to see if there are any Params that I'm missing from my Gnarwl implementation and see if I can combine them to create a flexible LDAP driver.

Out of curiousity, does anything jump out at you in terms of what I should include and may have already missed?

I agree that we should only have one (more flexible) LDAP driver. If this isn't possible, we should have a basic LDAP driver that the Exim and Gnarwl drivers extend. (What is Gnarwl btw?)

I am not sure if I understand correctly was you said about the vacation status, but it sounds right.

This is basically support for using Gnarwl.  A few things to comment about it though:

Basically I took the exim-ldap driver and just tweaked it a little.  There were some bugs, etc., but I didn't touch the original exim-ldap since there was a possibility that I could be wrong, and I don't have an Exim install to test it on.

With that being said, perhaps it would be better to just create a single LDAP driver with a lot more config. options for the conf.xml.  I'm not all sure what Exim needs to work though, but I'm sure it's something close to what Gnarwl needs.

Additionally, when a person first uses vacation, there is no status bar.  Would it be beneficial to state that Vacation is disabled unless we know for sure it's explicitly enabled?  The reason I say this is because the application in the backend may be setup correctly, but if their account has a blank slate for the settings, it's technically 'disabled' I guess ...

Just some thoughts.
