An auto-responder is a program that, when setup for your email address, sends
out an automatic pre-set reply from the email system to any email that is sent
to this address as soon as it is received.
Auto-Responder Features:
- Ability to draft the response in Plain
Text or HTML
- Ability to attach the original mail
- Ability to automatically disable the
auto-responder on a particular date
- Ability to limit the number of auto
replies sent to the same Email address. This can be quite useful - for
example - if you have enabled a vacation message and receive an Email
from Mr. X, then the Email system would send back an auto-response which
states that you are currently out of office. If Mr. X sends you another
Email on the same day, there is no point sending the same auto response
again as he already knows that you are out of office.
- Built-in Protection against Mail
Loops. Our auto-responders ensure that infinite mail loops are blocked.
Mail loops could get created in cases such as, an auto-responder sending
a reply to another auto-responder.
- Automatically detects Emails from
mailing lists and does not send an auto-response to such mails.
You to enable/disable auto-responders for any
email address from the Email management interface in your Control Panel. Each of
your email users too can add, delete and modify their own auto-responder from
their web-based email interface.

1. In the Email management interface, click on
