If your users are asking for an autoreply feature when they’re on vacation, and you are currently using Artica version 1.3.050203 you will be able to provide a such feature.
Artica will drive gnarwl tool and create necessary postfix settings in order to make it in production mode.
All settings are stored in LDAP database.
Each hour, a script "/usr/share/artica-postfix/exec.vacationtime.php" is executed to automatically enable/disable the autoreply feature according user's schedules.
In this case, users are only in charge to enable the feature and set the vacation period trough Artica Interface.
This feature is no longer supported, it is replaced by Installing mailbox Filters like Thunderbird in RoundCube OR Activate Artica-Filter
