Description : 

cPanel Autoresponderinterface facilitates in setting automated reply to the emails.

An email can be configured and set as Autoresponder to the mails.

Automated reply may be either stating that the email will be replied soon or stating non-availability and reply by a specific time.

cPanel facilitates to add or modify Autoresponders for the email accounts.

Step 1 : To create an autoresponder go to cPanel > Email section > Autoresponders menu

Step 2 : Click on Add Autoresponder and proceed to the next screen.

Step 3 : Character set is usually provided by default as htf-8.

We can see the fields you will need to fill in to create an Autoresponder

Choose character set : 

UTF-8 is a default value as it’s the most common character set Internet users deals.

It’s not recommended to change this parameter.

Step 4 : Interval

Specify the interval you wish for the Auto Responder to wait between sending response messages to the same email address

For example, if your auto responder is set to 12 hours, and you get an email from Person 1 at 10 am, an automatic reply gets sent immediately.

If this same Person 1 keeps on sending you emails during the day because she misses you so much, your auto responder will cruelly not send her any automatic response for 12 hours after her initial email (in this case, 10 pm the same day).

If she emails you again after 10 pm, she will receive another merciful response.

Note, that if the interval is set to 0, cPanel sends an auto response to each email.
