Fri, 10 Apr 2026 15:00:38 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/1833 From: field Some people need to configure the From: field for their Vacation auto reply. As it is today there is only Subject and message that are put in .vacation.msg From my perspective it would be pretty smart to have the From: field as an configurable option, and when enabled, the user gets a scrollbar with their IMP identities that sets the From: address. This is almost a must for those who have HORDE/IMP in an virtualhosting enviroment.

Shouldn't the From: address always be the one that was the original recipient? And shouldn't a correct vacation implementation do that automatically? Thu, 21 Apr 2005 08:41:29 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/1833#t7499 Our vacation program on Solaris sets an initial ~/.vacation.msg that looks like this: From: selsky (via the vacation program) Subject: away from my mail I will not be reading my mail for a while. Your mail regarding "$SUBJECT" will be read when I return. Thu, 21 Apr 2005 08:52:23 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/1833#t7505 The posters problem is he has virtual hosts, so he has e.g. usera@domain1.com, userb@domain2.com, but his vacation responses are being sent out as usera@host.domain.com, userb@host.domain.com, etc. I suggested this was a mail configuration (MTA) issue, or at best a vacation+MTA issue. But I'm not opposed to a work-around in the module, if it is a disabled-by-default configuration setting to set the From: address. It would make the life of people with virtual hosts easier, so they don't have to have as robust a virtual host configuration. Thu, 21 Apr 2005 18:24:52 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/1833#t7533 This should be implemented as a hook then. Fri, 22 Apr 2005 07:40:28 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/1833#t7545 I would like to vote for this enhancement... A second input field (copy from "subject") should do it. Maybe configurable: Allow/Disallow "From" in vacation... Christian Fri, 09 Jun 2006 13:08:31 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/1833#t20996 Hello my patch for this problem/enhancement. Can someone please have a closer look at it. It works for me (ftp based vacation with .forward). Especially the setting of the default "from": I took the default identity - but this might fail (I don't know...). Hope to get some feedback... Tue, 04 Jul 2006 14:51:50 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/1833#t21657 Maybe it makes more sense to provide a drop down list with the user's identity instead? But I can be convinced otherwise. You already retrieve the select list from the identity object, but don't use it anywhere. Wed, 05 Jul 2006 11:11:13 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/1833#t21672 Well - of course that would be fine. I didn't have a deeper look in the possibilities and dont' know the horde framework very well...(in short: the default "From" was a quick 'n'dirty hack I just looked up in "imp/compose.php" - but not to bad as it seems :-) I have more ideas/wishes with vacation - but one after another... /Christian Wed, 05 Jul 2006 22:44:01 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/1833#t21701 Updated patch sent privately has been committed.
