Creating an autoresponder

To create an autoresponder for an email account, choose the account from the drop-down list and click the "Add" button from the "Autoresponder"main page. A new page will be displayed that allows you to create a new autoresponder for the specified account. You can create as many autoresponders as you need for each account.

Enter a name for the autoresponder in the "Responder name" textbox.  

The next step is to specify the email messages that you want this autoresponder to reply to by setting a condition. Email messages that meet this condition will receive this autoresponder as their reply. If you want the message sent to everyone who sends an email to the account, choose "no condition" from the "Email Header Field" list and leave the "Search Text" textbox blank. This is the default.

If you want the autoresponder to reply to messages from a specific address, choose the "From an address" option from the "Email Header Field" drop-down list and enter the desired email address in the "Search Text" textbox. You can enter multiple email addresses in the "Search Text" textbox. They must be entered comma separated with no space.

You can set the autoresponder to reply to the email messages that are sent to a specific address. For example, if an email has the specified address in its "CC:" field, the autoresponder will apply to it. Choose the "To an address" option from the "Email Header List" and enter the email address in the "Search Text" textbox. You can enter multiple email addresses in the "Search Text" textbox. They must be entered comma separated with no space.

You can reply to messages who's subject contains some specific text. Select  the "where Subject contains" option from the "Email Header Field" list and enter the text in the "Search Text" textbox.

Enter the autoresponder's message in the "Responder Message" text area and click the "Apply" button to complete the operation or "OK" button to save the autoresponder and return to the Autoresponder main page. Click the "Cancel" button to cancel the operation and return to the Autoresponder main page.

Note that autoresponders do not work for forwarded and alias accounts.
