<p>Popular electronic mail systems have long including features that allow users to set up automated messages that are returned to message senders when the user is not able to deal with the message immediately. This feature is commonly known as "vacation messages", because it is most commonly used when a user is unable to read their messages because they are on vacation.</p>

<p>Popular electronic mail systems include features allowing users to set up
|
||||
automated messages that are returned to message senders when the user is not
|
||||
able to deal with the message immediately. This feature is commonly known as
|
||||
"out-of-office" or "vacation" messages, because it is most commonly used when
|
||||
a user is unable to read their messages because they are out of the office
|
||||
(e.g., on vacation).</p>
|
||||
<p>This document describes a similar system that enables XMPP users to setup
|
||||
out-of-office messages when they are away.</p>
|
||||
<p>The basis for the e-mail system mechanism is considering an incoming
|
||||
message at the server level and determining whether to respond with a canned
|
||||
out-of-office message. While a system may send a response for each incoming
|
||||
message, many systems provide an optimization where a response to subsequent
|
||||
e-mail messages is sent after some period of time expires.</p>

<p>The requirements for this feature are fairly straightforward. A user MUST be able to:</p>
|

|

<ul>
|
||||
<li>Discover if their server supports vacation messages.</li>
|
||||
<li>Retrieve their current vacation settings.</li>
|

<li>Set new vacation settings.</li>

<li>Remove vacation settings.</li>

<li>Remove out-of-office settings.</li>
|

<li>Notify interested parties of the out-of-office settings when it
|
||||
is in effect.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Additionally, a server supporting vacation messages MUST respond to a message sent to a local user that has an active vacation message set by automatically sending that message to the sender.</p>
|
||||
<p>All these requirements are satisfied by &xep0163;, which is a subset of &xep0060;.</p>

<section2 topic='Discovering support for vacation messages'>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Before attempting to set or retrieve its current vacation settings, a user SHOULD first verify that their server supports vacation messages. To do this, the user makes a &xep0030; "#info" query to their server. If supported, the server includes a feature of "http://www.jabber.org/protocol/vacation" in the result.</p>

|

<p>The start and end times are informational only; i.e., the server does
|
||||
nothing with these values other than store them. PEP does not include node
|
||||
lifetime management (i.e., start and end times for the node); therefore, the server is unable
|
||||
to enforce any start and end times included in the settings.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Using the PEP mechanism a client creates
|
||||
out-of-office settings on a PEP node with the desired access model (such as Presence or Open). When
|
||||
a user (or their client) sends presence containing CAPS (see &xep0115;) with an
|
||||
entry for out-of-office to a contact with an out-of-office message, the user's
|
||||
client is notified of the out-of-office message and may display, in a client-defined
|
||||
fashion, the out-of-office settings information.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Clients may rely on the PEP node for notifications of changes as well as
|
||||
automatic notification when the user logs-in (i.e., a user is notified of the
|
||||
current item on the out-of-office PEP node of another user on sending initial
|
||||
presence).</p>

<p>In PEP, a node's default access model is 'presence' (i.e., any other user
|
||||
with a subscription type "from" or "both" may subscribe to the node. PEP
|
||||
provides other access models including a 'whitelist.' See &xep0060; section
|
||||
4.5 for a list of Node Access Models.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The whitelist access model can be used to hide the current
|
||||
out-of-office message. With an empty whitelist, no other users
|
||||
receive notification when the node changes. The client may also use this
|
||||
fact to allow the client's user to set up an out-of-office message
|
||||
before it becomes active.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>See &xep0060; Section 8.2 for details on configuration the out-of-office
|

node's access model.</p>

<p>See also &xep0223;.</p>
|

|
||||
<p>PEP and PubSub allow for publishing an item and setting configuration on

a node. A user may wish to create an initial, hidden out-of-office
|

setting. They may do so by publishing an item with id='archive' and an
|
||||
access model of 'whitelist.' When the user enables the
|
||||
out-of-office settings, a configuration changing the access model
|
||||
to some other mode sends notifications as defined by PEP.</p>
