Configuring Email Auto Responders
What is an Email Auto Responder?
Email auto responders will automatically send a customized auto response (that you compose) to any visitor whom emails the address configured with one. More specifically, automated responses are sometimes used to send additional information about your service or product by having a visitor email something like moreinfo@yourdomain.com.
In most other cases, they are used to send a 'courtesy reply' to anyone whom sends a query to your companies main email address.
When visitors email this address, they receive a response such as:
Thanks for contacting our company! Someone will be returning a response to your question soon. If you require immediate assistance, please call 555-222-1212. Thanks!), and so forth.
To create an autoresponder, just click on "Add autoresponder" in your control panels mail menu.
In the Email box, type the username you want to use for your
For example, january_specials@mydomain.com .
The mailto link you will place on your site will be
january_specials@mydomain.com.
Fill in the "from" and "subject" boxes, then place the information you
want to send in the body area. Do not use html tags in an autoresponder.
They will only accept plain text.
This method is typically used if you have a product and want people to email an address for additional information on it. You simply tell them to email moreinfo@yourdomain.com, and they receive additional information on it.
Again, you 'will not' receive receipts of the visitors
emailing the auto responder. If you want to do this, please read the next
paragraph.
If you "do not" wish to receive the
original incoming inquiry, then simply enter a name, which "Is Not"
configured as one of your existing pop mail accounts.
