Does Cyrus handle the mail delivery also? Vacation puts a entry in the 
.forward file and pipes the message into the vacation program. I'm 
running Sendmail, procmail, and the standard ipop3 and imapd server that 
come with redhat (berkely?). Just looking for a web front end where a 
user could login and create the configuration in their .forward and 
.vacation.msg file and turn it off through a web page. I'll probably 
just write it. Was hoping it was already done...
