Autoresponders are typically used to send information in response to a visitor's request. For example, visitor's could click on a link that says "Click Here to Receive Special Report." When the visitor clicks on the link, their email program will open a new message addressed to your autoresponder. When they send the email, your autoresponder will reply by automatically sending your Special Report to the visitor. This feature is also useful when you know you will not be reading or responding to incoming email massages for a period of time. To create an autoresponder you must first create an email account. To add an autoresponder: Click on Autoresponders 
Click on Add AutoResponders. The following screen will appear:  In the Email box, type the email name you choose for your Autoresponder. This will be the email address that visitor's click on to access the Autoresponder. If you think you may set up more than one Autoresponder, it is helpful to choose a username that is descriptive. For example, reportx. The mailto link you will place on your site will be reportx@yourdomain.com. Fill in the From and Subject boxes, then place the information you want to send in the Body area. You can't use html tags in an Autoresponder. They will only accept plain text. Click Create and your new Autoresponder will be activated. To delete an autoresponder: Click on Delete to the right of the autoresponder that you would like to delete. Email Forwarding: You can have any or all email addressed to your domain account forwarded to an outside email account or to a different email address within your domain. To add an email forwarder: Click on Forwarders  Click on Add Forwarder. The following screen will appear:  Type the account name of the address you want mail forwarded from in the first window, and the complete email address you want the mail forwarded to in the second window. Click on Add Forward and your new Forwarder will be activated. Remember, you can forward mail to any address, inside or outside of your domain. For example: youremail@aol.com or yourmail@yourdomain.com. Be careful when forwarding email accounts inside your domain. You might inadvertently create an indefinite loop that can cause all email accounts to stop working on your domain. NOTE: You do not have to create an email account to setup a forwarder. For example, if you want to forward all email messages going to john@yourdomain.com, do not create a an email account for john@yourdomain.com. When you setup the forwarder the server will know what to do. If there is an email account created for any forwarder, that forwarder will not function. To delete an email forwarder: Click on Delete to the right of the forwarder that you would like to delete. Blocking Email Messages You can block unwanted email according to email address, subject, header, recipient, or even phrases inside the body of the message.
