# How to Create an Email Autoresponder

An autoresponder sends an automatic reply when a mailbox receives a message.

## Create the Response

1. Log in to DirectAdmin.
2. Open E-mail Manager and choose Autoresponders.
3. Select Create Autoresponder.
4. Enter the mailbox or alias.
5. Add a clear subject and message.
6. Set start and end dates if available.
7. Save and test from an external address.

## Best Uses

- Out-of-office notices.
- Acknowledgement of support requests.
- Temporary holiday closures.

## Avoid Mail Loops

Do not configure autoresponders that reply repeatedly to mailing lists, automated systems or other autoresponders.

## Need Help?

If you still need assistance, open a support ticket through your Vertico client account and include the affected domain or email address, a screenshot of the error, and the approximate time the problem occurred. Never send passwords by email or support ticket.
