Overview

This article will guide you through the setup of Automatic Replies through Plesk. Automatic Replies can be used for things such as:

  • Out-of-office responses while staff are on holidays
  • Instant reply with marketing material or support documents
  • Confirmation that the email has been received

For example, you could have an auto reply confirming that a customers order has been received or an out-of-office response while you’re on Christmas holidays.
