Here's what my boss asked me to make: A script of some sort wich reconizes an incomming email with the topic "on vacation" if this is reconized and the sender is also valid (as in, coming from within the lil network we have here) The script will activate and will reply to each and everyone who sends an email to that particular email account saying this person is on vacation an will be back "then" and "then". It also would be nice that the script reads the additional email with the "on vacation" topic and makes the content of that mail the reply to whoever trys to email that person. I hope i still make sense here...

Also the script should be able to be disabled when the person send an email to the server with the topic "back from vacation".

Could one of you tell me if this is doable with sendmail, and if so, how can i make it so? my experience with sendmail is nihil, i was just put on this job to pass some time. Anny help is gladly welcomed!
