+ ## Differences To The Original Version
8
+
9
+ This implementation of `hhvacation` only operates on so called
10
+ "virtual" vacation responses (i.e. those which are kept in a MySQL
11
+ database).
12
+
13
+ Another difference is that it not only checks the `To` header for
14
+ vacation responses but also the `Cc` and `Bcc` headers.
15
+
16
+ ## Warning
17
+
18
+ Since this program is written in Ruby (i.e. its execution is
19
+ relatively resource intensive) and Postfix will call it for every mail
20
+ it delivers, it should not be used on high-volume servers. In any case
21
+ you should definitely keep an eye on the server load and look for
22
+ better alternatives. This program is merely a drop-in replacement for
23
+ existing setups which used the original `hhvacation` Perl script
24
+ included in `gnuhh` which depends on a deprecated MySQL library and
25
+ thus cannot be run without problems on more recent versions of Perl.
26
+
27
+ Also note that due to the high probability that this program is mostly
28
+ used with MySQL databases using the MyISAM storage engine it makes no
29
+ use of database transactions. This *may* result in vacation responses
30
+ being sent multiple times to the same recipient.
31
+
32
+ ## Installation
33
+
34
+ The program is available on `rubygems.org` thus
35
+
36
+ gem install hhvacation
37
+
38
+ should suffice to install it.
