Vacation Responders
Vacation
responders provide a predefined response to an email. These are typically used to inform people of your absence and expected return.
Your WebValence mail account allows you to setup a vacation responder (provided that you
use a WebValence mail box and not a forwarding address).

Example

Clearing Your Replied Addresses List
The replied addresses list keeps track of addresses to which it has sent your vacation message, ensuring that it delivers your responder only once to each address. You will need to clear this list before you enable your vacation message. Otherwise, it will not go to any addresses that have received a vacation message from you in the past.
Updating Your Vacation Responder
You may update your vacation responder at any time. Access the rules page and change the text in the "Vacation Message" text area. Select "Save"

to save your changes.
Disabling Your Vacation Responder
If you didn't select an ending date, remember to log back in when your vacation is over and uncheck "Enable" and then hit the Save button
.
