I am really surprised at the granularity proposed in this document. Do you really propose that there is a requirement to generate a vacation response every 27 seconds, but not every 26 seconds?

Review by Ari Keränen:
2. The ':seconds' Parameter
If 0 is specified and used, it means that all auto-replies are sent,
and no attempt is made to suppress consecutive replies. This changes
the base vacation specification, which does not allow ":days 0"; the
change is necessary to allow operation of an auto-responder (see
[I-D.ietf-sieve-autoreply]).
Why is there need to change "days" to allow 0; wouldn't it be enough to
allow 0 only for "seconds" and thus not (potentially) break backwards
compatibility for the "days" parameter? Or if that was not the
intention, the text is a bit misleading.
Regarding security concerns, there could be a problem with two e-mail
accounts that have set the delay (close) to 0, and one of them does not
properly implement the "Auto-submitted" header field. If you then send
an e-mail from one of the addresses to the other, wouldn't that create
an infinite loop executing at high speed sending e-mail back and forth?

The Gen-ART Review by Suresh Krishnan on 16-Nov-2010 indicates the need for clarity about the interaction between :days and :seconds. The :seconds maximum only applies if :seconds is specified. And, the :days maximum only applies if :days is specified. Further, :seconds and :days parameters are mutually exclusive.
