Note: Vacation Message can also be enabled and disabled within the user's Web Client.

To create a vacation message:

  1. Select Enable Vacation.
  2. In the Vacation Message text box, enter the reply message you want to send while the user is away. The vacation message is sent one time to each e-mail address from whom the recipient receives mail. IMail Server saves the message sender's e-mail address in a file (vacation.snt). This file provides the user with a list of users that sent e-mail while away and also keeps track of the senders so the vacation message is only sent one time to each sender.
  3. Click Save.
