sieve and vacation?

[Michael Menge]

Hi,

You can dump the contens of the deliver.db to an textfile and recreat  
it, but this is not needed at all.

The deliver.db is used for two things.

1. First suspress dublicated delivery of emails and
2. remember to which email adress an vacation message has ben send.

deleting deliver.db would result in the following
1. the user could receve an email a second time in some rare cases if  
you MTA recieves the same massage because of an loop.

2. an user would recieve an vacation message befor the ':days' days

Since 1 is not a problem and 2 is what you whant, you can delete deliver.db
after every testemail
