Description of problem:


Hello,

IMHO, the following is a major limitation / missing feature in Postfix:

Regular users should be provided with a facile way of setting an auto-reply
message for themselves ("I'm out of office until September."  ;-) )


This mechanism should meet the following criteria:

- can be done remotely, in a facile way (via a Web interface ?)

- should be 100% independent of the way users are defined in Postfix (system
users, virtual mailboxes, virtual domains, please see
http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html ) or the way in which user passwords
are stored in the related IMAP server;

- users should not be able to modify other Postfix parameters or to overwrite
main.cf (as they can via Webmin or other remote administration solutions)

- should be present in the default postfix repository (probably as a separate
.rpm package)

- should integrate nicely with other related packages (dovecot, squirrelmail, etc.)


I'm marking this as "severity=high" because I consider it of general interest,
for a large mass of users.

Actual results:

Postfix doesn't provide a way for regular users to set up an autoreply message
for themselves (without administrator's intervention).

Expected results:

Such a way should exist; it should be accesible remotely in a facile way and
should be independent of the database backend used for usernames and passwords.
