Auto response is a function that automatically replies to any email address that sends an email to a user. Often used when a staff member goes on holidays, this utility can write an auto-response message letting everyone who sends mail to the person on holidays that he/she is away.
To enable, place a tick into the Auto Response Enabled check box by clicking the left mouse button on the check box. To disable the function a removal of the tick from the Auto Response Check box will ensure the Auto Response is no longer generated.
