How to Set Up an Email Autoresponder for Vacations and Away Messages

Category: E-Mail  •  Est. reading time: 1 minute

An autoresponder sends an automatic reply to anyone who emails you, which is perfect for letting people know you are on vacation, out of the office, or will get back to them soon. Here is how to set one up in cPanel.

The Steps

  1. Log in to cPanel and open Autoresponders in the Email section.
  2. Click Add Autoresponder.
  3. Choose the email account it applies to, then write your subject and message.
  4. Set a Start and Stop time so it turns itself off when you are back.
  5. Click Create.

Keep it simple and kind. A good away message says you are unavailable, when you will return, and who to contact for anything urgent. And set the stop time, so it does not keep replying after you are back at your desk.
