I am trying to configure the vacation sieve script on my Debian10 server, but it does not seem to work (it does not send an autoreply when receiving mail).
I didn't really understand how sieve treats the paths to the scripts, so I would really appreciate it if someone could explain them to me.
Could you please provide a step by step guide about how to configure an autoreply system on Dovecot, using sieve + vacation? The server is shared, is it possible to personalize the autoreply settings per user?
Here is what I have done until now:
Install Pigeonhole
sudo apt-get install dovecot-sieve dovecot-managesieved
In /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-lda.conf activate sieve plugin
protocol lda {
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
}
In /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-lmtp.conf activate sieve plugin
protocol lmtp {
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
}
In /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-managesieve.conf uncomment
protocols = $protocols sieve
in /etc/dovecot/90-sieve.conf add under this line sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve
location = file:/etc/dovecot/vacation.sieve
I added the script below in the file /etc/dovecot/vacation.sieve

Restarted Dovecot
service dovecot restart
If you need any more info please feel free to ask.
