+ | * **Rule name** is a name you give the rule for your own reference, eg " | ||
+ | * **Respond if this rule matches** tells VPOP3 whether to send the response when this rule matches. Usually this will be checked, but by not checking it it lets you specify exceptions to the other rules | ||
+ | * **Prevent user changes** - this stops the user from changing the rule via their Webmail access | ||
+ | * **Priority** - this lets you put the rules in a suitable order (higher priorities are processed first) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Conditions=== | ||
+ | * **Dates** - specify dates between which the autoresponder will trigger | ||
+ | * **Times** - specify times between which the autoresponder will trigger | ||
+ | * **Date/ | ||
+ | * **Days of the Week** - specify which days of the week the autoresponder will trigger on | ||
+ | * **Sender** - specify a substring match for the original message sender to make the autoresponder trigger | ||
+ | * **Subject** - specify a substring match for the original message subject to make the autoresponder trigger | ||

+ | |||
+ | The Dates, Times and Date/Time settings are sometimes a bit confusing because people may think that Dates + Times is equivalent to Date/Time, but they are different. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you have Dates of //1 March 2012 - 7 March 2012// and Times of //10:00 - 14:00//, then the autoresponder will trigger between 10am and 2pm on each day between 1st and 7th March (inclusive) | ||
+ | |||
+ | However, if you have Date/Times of //1 March 2012 10:00 - 7 March 2012 14:00//, then the autoresponder will trigger from 10am on 1st March to 2pm on 7th March. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can use Dates, Times and Date/Times in the same rule. | ||
