Add filter

Create auto-responder

This will bring up a form. In the ‘Filter Name’ field, give your filter a name such as ‘Auto-responder’.

Under the fieldset labled ‘For incoming mail’, click on the checkbox labled ‘all messages’.

From the dropdown chose ‘Reply with message’


STEP 6
Add your auto-responder details
