An autoresponder automatically replies to incoming messages — perfect for vacations, after-hours notices or “we got your message” confirmations.
Create an autoresponder
- Log in to cPanel and open Email → Autoresponders.
- Click Add Autoresponder.
- Choose the Email address and domain the reply should come from.
- Enter the From name, Subject and Body of the reply.
- Set the Interval — how many hours before the same sender gets the reply again. 24 hours is a good default so people aren’t flooded.
- Under Start and Stop, choose Immediately / Never, or pick dates for a vacation reply.
- Click Create.
Tip: Set a Stop date for vacation replies so you don’t forget to turn them off.
Turn it off
Go back to Email → Autoresponders and click Delete next to the autoresponder, or edit it and change the stop date.
