You could use the sieve filter that comes with Cyrus imapd, it
has a vacation extension (see http://www.cyrusoft.com/sieve/).
A few of the mail clients have direct support for sieve, otherwise
you need to write a web interface to enable your users to upload
their sieve scripts.
Or you can use procmail to deliver your messages. Once you have procmail,
you can do pretty much anything, including using vacation scripts. Two
reasons not to use procmail: it may cause security problems to allow your
users to upload any procmail rule, and it is said to use a lot of resources.
Sieve doesn't have these problems, but it has its drawbacks too: it is a
lot less popular, there is little documentation available for it, and you
cannot have systemwide scripts with it.

Yes. You could use sieve, or more simply use a mysql table for your
postfix alias maps. This could be updated by a web form.
Examples:
login_name -> other_name will forward all mail to user other_name
login_name -> will forward all mail to an external
account
login_name -> other1 at other dot domain1, other2 at other dot domain2 will do that
to two external mailboxes
If you include login_name in the list on the right side, you can have
both local delivery and forwarding.
Yours: Laszlo
