How Do I Set Up an Autoresponder (Out-of-Office Message) in Plesk?

An autoresponder sends a ready-made reply to incoming email on your behalf. It is used during holidays or leave to tell senders when you will be back.

Step by step

1. Log in to your Plesk panel at https://yourdomain.com:8443.
2. Click Mail in the left menu and click your email address.
3. Open the Auto-Reply tab and tick Switch on auto-reply.
4. Fill in the Subject and Message fields. Plain text format is recommended.
5. If you like, enter your return date with Switch off auto-reply on.
6. Click OK.

Example message

Hello, I am on leave until 20 November and will reply to your email when I return. For urgent matters please write to support@yourdomain.com.

The same sender gets a reply only once a day, so they do not receive a new auto-reply for every email.
