Autoresponders - םירתא ןוסחא

Whether you are responding to the same type of e-mail on a daily basis or you
would just like to add an automatic response to e-mails sent to a specific
domain address, you can accomplish such a task using the "autoresponder".
An autoresponder will send a standard response e-mail message (based on a text
file you specify) to anyone who sends an e-mail to a specific e-mail address
(which you specify) at your domain. Each of our hosting plans allow you to set
up a specific number of autoresponders for free. You can set up additional
autoresponders for a small additional charge of $1.00/month per autoresponder.

How to set up an autoresponder:

1. Create a plain text file which contains the message you wish to have
   automatically sent (e.g. sales_request_response.txt) and upload it to
   your domain in ASCII mode via FTP.
    
2. Use your Web browser to go to the E-mail Settings section of your account
   Control Panel (go to yourdomain.com/stats/ and enter your userID and
   password, click on E-mail Settings and re-enter your userID and password if
   requested). This page allows you to set your e-mail forwarding,
   POP accounts,and autoresponders for your account.
    
3. Go to the 'Autoresponders' section of your E-mail Settings page. It will look
   like this:
    
   
   

    

4. Under the "@your_domain" heading, enter the e-mail address at your domain
   which is intended to invoke the autoresponder. For example, if you want an
   autoresponse message sent to anyone who sends an e-mail to
   "info@yourdomain.com", you would enter "info". When a user sends e-mail
   message to this address (info@yourdomain.com) the autoresponder will
   automatically reply with the message you specify.
    
5. Under the "File to send" heading, enter the location of the text file you
   uploaded in step 1 which contains the autoresponse message. The text in
   this file will be sent in an e-mail message to whomever sends an e-mail to
   the address you specified in step 4. Be sure to enter the complete path to
   the file relative to your home directory (example: /subdir/mystuff/services.txt).
   If you uploaded the file to the main level of your account (the 'root') you
   would just enter the name of the file, since the file is not located within any
   subdirectories.
    
6. Under the "Reply to" heading, enter the e-mail address from which you want
   to have your autoresponse message appear to be coming. This address will
   appear in the 'From:' heading in the autoresponse e-mail. If the user replies
   to the autoresponse message, the reply will be sent to this e-mail address.
   
7. Under the "Who to Notify" heading, enter the e-mail address of someone you
   want to have receive a copy of the original incoming e-mail message that
   invoked the autoresponder. The incoming e-mail message will be forwarded
   to this address and your automated response will be sent back to the sender.
   If you leave this field blank, the incoming email message will be
   discarded.

In the above example, any person who sends an e-mail to "info@yourdomain.com"
will receive an auto-response via e-mail which contains the message from the
file named "services.txt". If the recipient replies to the auto-response,
their reply will be delivered to the address "sales@your_domain". Also, a copy
of the original incoming e-mail will be sent to "bob@somedomain.com".

Subject: Information about our services

You would replace 'Information about our services' with whatever subject you want
to have for the autoresponse e-mail.
