(Answer) (Category) Accessing Services at OA5 / YASK / Irial : (Category) My Email : (Answer) Can I set up Automatic Replies and Vacation Messages?
There is a powerful mail filtering engine included with your mailbox. It is called sieve. We have provided a tool to let you set up automatic actions, including sending auto-replies, vacation messages, and discarding junk mail.
It can be found at

      http://www.yourdomain/cgi-bin/websieve.pl

NB substitute your own domain name for "yourdomain" in the above url

Just one warning though! You need your password to access this tool, and if you set it the wrong way, the tool will throw away all your email. Since it needs your password, we take no responsibility whatsoever for how you set up your filtering. In particular if you lose mail, it's not OA5's problem.

Dont forget that once you have created rules, you also need to go into Advanced Options and turn the default script on. - Then test its working
When you set an auto reply, part of what you configure is a set of email addresses that the system will consider to be 'you'. A reply will only be sent if 'you' are in the To or Cc lists in the incoming mail. This stops your auto-responder replying to mailing lists, adverts or whatever.

The system also looks at the time you have configured, and will only send one message to any sender no matter how many mails they send you in that period.
