CREATING/EDITING A MAILSORT VACATION MESSAGE
You may create a filtering rule that will automatically generate and send vacation messages to message senders of a user who is away.

This page allows you to create/edit the vacation message that will be sent to the sender of all messages that matched the filter rule with a send vacation message .

To create/edit the vacation message, do the following:

  1. Type the Message Subject of your vacation message. This refers to the vacation message subject/header.
  2. In the Message Body field, compose the vacation message that will be sent.
  3. Click the Save button to save the newly composed vacation message.

NOTE: Only one vacation message will be sent to the sender within seven days even if the sender sends multiple messages within that period. Vacation messages will not be generated for some types of messages, such as the standard formatted distributed list messages (i.e., subscription requests) or the bounced messages from the Mailer Daemon (i.e., messages from postmaster@ima.com). Mailsort will check for these keywords in the message header and will not generate a vacation message to the sender if a match is found.
