To set up your incoming email server to send an automatic message
for you on your behalf when you are away on vacation or will
be without access to your email for a substantial amount of time:
- In a browser, type:
http://www.YOURDOMAIN.COM/user
substituting YOURDOMAIN.COM with your actual domain name
- In the Login field, enter your user name, NOT your email
address
(i.e. NOT someone@somedomain.com)
- In the Password field, enter your password and click "Log
In"
- On the top right hand side, under the "email" heading, click
on the link that says "Vacation"
- When the "Vacation
Message" screen appears,
click on the
"Edit Configuration" button
- On the "Editing Vacation Message" screen, to activate the
Vacation Message feature, select the "Enable
Vacation Message" checkbox
- If you wish to change what your vacation message says, you
may edit it at this time. However, be sure to use only plain text. For this and many programming tasks, it is recommended that you use only letters, numbers, spaces, dashes (-), underscores(_). At @ signs can be used. Special characters may be accepted by the auto-responder but can cause problems when the auto responder runs. Double quotes (")s and html formatting (even bold and italic) are known to cause problems. Using Notepad or another text editor rather than a word processing program (such as Word) to create your message well lessen the chances of characters being inadvertently pasted in.
- When you are finished, hit the "Update" button
Your email account is now set up to send out your Vacation Message.
Your email server will continue to send out these away messages
UNTIL you disable the Vacation Message feature.
To disable the Vacation Message feature for your email account:
- In a browser, type:
http://www.YOURDOMAIN.COM/user
substituting YOURDOMAIN.COM with your actual domain name
- In the Login field, enter your user name, NOT your email
address
(i.e. NOT someone@somedomain.com)
- In the Password field, enter your password and click "Log
In"
- On the top right hand side, under the "email" heading,
click on the link that says "Vacation"
- When the "Vacation Message" screen appears, click
on the
"Edit Configuration" button
- On the "Editing Vacation Message" screen, to
DEACTIVATE the Vacation Message feature, DESELECT the "Enable
Vacation Message" checkbox
- Hit the "Update" button
