What is an email auto-reply and how is it configured?

An email auto-reply sends out a automated response when someone sends an email to your email address. Auto-reply emails can be configured to be sent out during a specific date range and time period.

Email auto-replies can be configured via webmail, under Settings > Incoming Email > Auto-Reply.

You can also set up an auto-reply using the Email Admin Panel under Mailboxes > Mailbox Details > Forwarding / Auto-Reply.
