An autoresponder sends an automatic reply to everyone who emails you, which is ideal for holidays or for confirming you’ve received an enquiry.
- Log in to cPanel. You can open it from your client area (choose your hosting service, then Login to cPanel), or go to yourdomain.co.uk/cpanel.
- In the Email section, open Autoresponders and click Add Autoresponder.
- Choose the email address it’s for.
- Enter a From name and a Subject, such as “Out of office until Monday 4 August”.
- Write your message in Body. Say when you’ll be back and who to contact if it’s urgent.
- Set the Interval to 24 hours, so each person gets your reply no more than once a day.
- Choose a Start and Stop time, then click Create.
The autoresponder switches itself off at the stop time. You can edit or delete it at any time from the same page.
