Notes on the Sieve implementation for Exim
are filed into "inbox" due to an error in the filter.
-Strings Containing Header Names
+Strings Containing Header Names Or Envelope Elements
RFC 3028 does not specify what happens if a string denoting a header
-field does not contain a valid header name, e.g. it contains a colon.
+field or envelope element does not contain a valid name, e.g. it
+contains a colon for a header or it is not "from" or "to" for envelopes.
This implementation generates an error instead of ignoring the header
-field in order to ease script debugging, which fits in the common
-picture of Sieve.

Header Test With Invalid MIME Encoding In Header
the UTF-8 reason is processed to compose the resulting message.
-Envelope Sender
-
-The vacation draft does not specify the envelope sender. This
-implementation uses the empty envelope sender to prevent mail loops.

Default Subject
The draft specifies that the default message subject is "Re: "
Rate Limiting Responses
-The draft says:
-
- Vacation responses are not just per address, but are per address
- per vacation command.
-
-This is badly worded, because commands are not enumerated. It meant
-to say:
-
- Vacation responses are not just per address, but are per address
- per reason string and per specified subject and ":mime" option.
-
-Existing implementations work that way and it makes more sense, too.
-Including the ":mime" option is mostly for correctness, as the reason
-strings with and without this option are rarely equal.
-
-This implementation hashes the reason, specified subject and ":mime"
-option and uses the hex string representation as filename within the
-"sieve_vacation_directory" to store the recipient addresses for this
-vacation parameter set.

The draft specifies that sites may define a minimum ":days" value than 1.
This implementation uses 1. The maximum value MUST greater than 7,
