I don't know about you all but I definitely have better things to do
with my time than deal w/each and every users vacation messages and
forwarding.  SmartSieve puts this task where it belongs -  in the hands
of the mailbox end user.  It also lets them configure sieve scripts for
sorting their mail into folders, etc. so filtering scheme is server
side and consistent when mailbox is accessed from different
workstations.  I've found SmartSieve to be a bit complex for low tech
end users so in such instances I simply turn a few of the more advanced
features off.

The downside of it all is that you end up with 3 pieces:

1) WebCyradm
2) SmartSieve
3) Ilohamail

So office manager/admin types who're not geeks tend to get a bit
overwhelmed by it all at first.  Especially since #'s 1 & 2 are tools
they use rarely.  But in the end it all seems to work pretty well ;-)
