Sieve is a dovecot plugin which allows a user to sort mail automatically into different mailboxes based on custom filters. Our dovecot configuration file on einstein looks for sieve scripts in your home directory in a file called ".sieve".

Vacation
There is a module for sieve called "vacation" which allows a user to auto reply to emails. This module will only execute the auto reply if the recipient of the email matches the user. Since we receive email on einstein (user@einstein.unh.edu), but it's addressed to user@physics.unh.edu, the module will not autoreply by default. This problem is fixed by adding the ":addresses" clause in your sieve script to specify user@physics.unh.edu as a recipient address you will send an autoreply for.
