Admin can enable the vacation message for users.

Admin (and possibly users themselves, see below) can enable a vacation message for individual users. In addition to manually enabling and disabling the vacation message for a user, also automatic start and end dates for sending out vacation messages can be set in the server manager panel.

===Automatic enabling and disabling of vacation messages===
 +
 +
The server-manager panel provides two fields where you can enter start and end dates for the vacation message of a user.
 +
These date values will be checked by a simple cron script every night, in order to enable or disable the vacation message of this user at the given dates, respectively.
 +
 +
The two date fields in the server-manager panel are not programatically validated with respect to common-sense, so some rules apply:
 +
 +
* Start date has to be before end date
 +
* Start date must not be the same as the end date
 +
* If the intended start date is in the future (from "now"), the checkbox for enabling the vacation message should be unchecked (otherwise vacation messages will be sent out from "now" on).
