How to Set Up an Autoresponder Using Plesk

Autoresponders are used to automatically reply to a sender when a message is received. Autoresponders have a variety of uses, including “out of office” messages, vacation messages, or even “I’m in training all day and will have sporadic access to email.”

For this tutorial, I’ll be using my FatCow account. They’ve provide a very reliable and affordable hosting service so if you want to know more about them, click here.

1. Log in to the Plesk control panel.
2. In the E-Mail section, click on the Autoresponder icon.
   
3. The Autoresponders page will list all current autoresponders; if you do not have any configured, Plesk will display “(none)”.
   
4. Click the Create a New Autoresponder button to create a new autoresponder.
   
5. Enter the email address to associate with this autoresponder.
   
   **NOTE: if you want all email addresses to receive the autoresponse, enter __CATCHALL__ in the email address text box.
6. Enter the message to be sent via autoresponse.
   
7. Click the Save Changes button.
   
8. You will receive notification that the changes have been saved.
   
9. The screen will now show any autoresponders you have created.
   
10. Click on the email address listed to edit the autoresponder.
