 VPOP3 has an **autoresponder** facility for sending automatic replies when a message arrives in a mailbox.

 Note that autoresponders **only work when messages arrive in a mailbox**. If you have forwarding, assistant, mappings or other rules set meaning that the message does not end up in the mailbox, then the autoresponder will not fire! If you want, the administrator can set the autoresponder not to keep the message after responding to it (the user can't do this themselves, as we have found that this leads to too many lost messages!) Note that autoresponders **only work when messages arrive in a mailbox**.

 +====Autoresponder for 'everyone'====
 +If you want to set a single autoresponder which replies to incoming messages for anyone (eg if your whole company closes for a holiday), you can obviously do this by going to each user and setting the autoresponder separately for each user.
 +
 +If the autoresponder text will be the same for every user, and you have a spare user slot in your VPOP3 licence, there is an alternative way:
 +  - create a user for the autoresponder to go with (the name doesn't matter)
 +  - set the autoresponder as appropriate for that user - have the autoresponder not keep the messages after responding to them
 +  - create a **Download Rule** to copy all incoming messages to that user
