Need to set an "Out of Office" or automatic reply for your professional email? This quick, step-by-step tutorial shows you exactly how to create and configure an email Autoresponder in cPanel.
Autoresponders automatically send a predefined message back to anyone who emails a specific address, making them perfect for out-of-office notifications, vacation replies, or simple business acknowledgments.
⚙️ Autoresponder Setup Steps:
- Log in to your cPanel dashboard (featured here by BCHost.com).
- Scroll down to the Email section and click the Autoresponders icon.
- Click the Add Auto Responder button.
- Set the Interval (e.g., 8 hours) to prevent the same sender from receiving the auto-reply repeatedly.
- Enter the Email address (the part before the @ symbol) and select the Domain you want the autoresponder to apply to.
- Fill in the From, Subject, and Body fields with your desired reply message.
- Set the Start and Stop times (or choose Immediately and Never).
- Click Create/Modify to save your new autoresponder!
Your auto-reply is now active and will automatically handle incoming messages for you!
