autoreply is an e-mail message that is sent automatically when an email is received by the email account address. It is used to send vacation messages

Example: Create an out of office autoreply to notify users that the email address owner is out of office and will not be able to respond to any mails. c) Go to "Edit Mail filters" and create a new filtering rule to use the autoreply as shown in the figure below:

To set an autoreply please log in to the ControlCenter. For each defined rule you can set a different autoreply. Select the rule you wish to change, click on the change button and enter your autoreply message in the field autoreply.

With the above example, when your customer sends you mail at "info@DOMAIN_NAME" it will send back whatever message is contained in the ~/.autoreply file (NOTE: You can use the "-m" option to specify a different message file (i.e. "autoreply -m /etc/mymessage"). The "-f" option allows you to change who the autoreply message will be from (in the example above, the "From:" field the customer gets will read "info-reply@DOMAIN_NAME").

When you are going on vacation or will not be checking your e-mail for an extended period of time, it is good practice to create a vacation rule or automatic reply message. That way, when people send you an e-mail message they will know when to expect a response...

Set up a rule with an action of 'Reply' and put your text into the box that will be put up on the screen. But, PLEASE make sure your reply does not get sent to any mailing lists as a mail loop can result and make you very unpopular!
