Autoresponder

An auto-responder automatically replies to incoming mail with a preset text — e.g. “I'm on leave until the 20th, I'll reply later.”

How to set it: service → “Mail” section → mailbox settings → auto-responder. Enter the reply text and, if needed, an active period.

When it's useful:

• Vacation or non-working days.
• Acknowledging receipt of a request (for info@/support@).
• Notifying of an address change or temporary unavailability.

Tips:

• Keep it short and to the point: who will reply, when, and where to go for urgent matters.
• Set a period so the auto-reply doesn't run forever.
• Don't enable it for mailing-list addresses — it creates extra noise.

After returning, remember to turn it off. For permanent mail routing use aliases and forwarding (see the related article), not auto-replies.
