How do set up my email account to send an automatic message when I am away on vacation?
(Unix Server)
updated Tue, September 18, 2007

To learn how to set up your email auto-responding vacation message on our Windows server, click here

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:

  1. In a browser, type:
    http://www.YOURDOMAIN.COM/user

    substituting YOURDOMAIN.COM with your actual domain name
  2. In the Login field, enter your user name, NOT your email address
    (i.e. NOT someone@somedomain.com)
  3. In the Password field, enter your password and click "Log In"
  4. On the top right hand side, under the "email" heading, click on the link that says "Vacation"
  5. When the "Vacation Message" screen appears, click on the "Edit Configuration" button
  6. On the "Editing Vacation Message" screen, to activate the Vacation Message feature, select the "Enable Vacation Message" checkbox
  7. If you wish to change what your vacation message says, you may edit it at this time
  8. 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:

  1. In a browser, type:
    http://www.YOURDOMAIN.COM/user

    substituting YOURDOMAIN.COM with your actual domain name
  2. In the Login field, enter your user name, NOT your email address
    (i.e. NOT someone@somedomain.com)
  3. In the Password field, enter your password and click "Log In"
  4. On the top right hand side, under the "email" heading, click on the link that says "Vacation"
  5. When the "Vacation Message" screen appears, click on the "Edit Configuration" button
  6. On the "Editing Vacation Message" screen, to DEACTIVATE the Vacation Message feature, DESELECT the "Enable Vacation Message" checkbox
  7. Hit the "Update" button
