Server side auto replies - only in specified time range

Postfix doesn’t have built-in autoresponder functionality, you need to use 3rd party tool. On the market there are variety of tools and scripts which will do the job. But almost none of them could set time range for sending auto replies out of the box. This functionality is very useful when you don’t want to forget to disable autoresponder after some period of time.
