I got to thinking about vacation mail, and realized that the rule and
script would send vacation-mail notification to the "originators" of
junk mail, and that's not a good thing.
Unfortunately, although mail rules have a "message is junk mail"
criterion, it does not have a "message is not junk mail" criterion, so
the rule can't be changed to eliminate junk mail from consideration.
There is an easy solution for this - just add another rule directly in
front of your vacation rule with the following setup:
If message is junk mail
(optional): Transfer message to folder "Junk"
Stop evaluating rules
This will make sure that no junk message will invoke the vacation rule
(I am not sure whether or not the "transfer" step is needed, it can't
hurt though)
The advantage to this is that you can keep your vacation message within
rules and easily update it (with dates) as opposed to having to edit
the script every time. Just dis-/enable both rules together to enable
vacation messages.
