Autoresponder
Introduction
Whether you are responding to the same type of email on a daily basis or you
would just like to add an automatic response to emails sent to a specific
domain address, you can accomplish such a task using the
"autoresponder".
Example
Let's say you wanted to send information about your services to anyone
that sends email to, info@your_domain. The autoresponder will automatically
send a response to these incoming emails. If the recipient wishes to reply to
an auto-response, his/her email will be forwarded to another address specified
by you.
How to use
You will need to prepare the following information prior to invoking the
autoresponder:
- the virtual username to which requests are made
(For example, the username for the address info@your_domain, is "info")
- the path name of a text file which the autoresponder will send out upon request.
(This path should be relative to your home directory)
- the reply to email address to which further requests can be directed
- optionally, the email address to forward the original request to
Locate the section titled, Autoresponders: under
"Email Menu" in your Control Panel. Under the heading titled,
@your_domain, fill-in the username (1) of the email address which will handle
incoming autoresponder requests.
Next, fill in the field "File to send" with the name of
the response document (2), enter "Reply to" the appropriate
email address from (3) above and optionally "Who to notify"
with the email address from (4). If desired, you can set up more than one
autoresponder.
In the following example, emails addressed to
"info@your_domain" will receive an auto-response via email
including the content of the file named, "services". If the
recipient replies to the auto-response, the message will be delivered to
the address "sales@your_domain".
Check to see if your desired domain name is available:
Enter lowercase letters only, e.g. yourname.com,
yourcompany.com
