Advanced Mailing List Configuration

Auto-Responder

[Nov 23, 2009 14:09] Web access to Microsoft Live@edu accounts now works.

As list administrator, you may set several options for automatic responses to messages sent to your list, which may cut down on the amount of administrivia you need to perform as list administrator.

Auto Responder

Autoresponse to mailing list posters:
Default is No. Setting this option to Yes allows you to enter text for an automatic response each time someone posts to the list. Recommended setting is No.
Autoresponse to messages sent to -owner address:
Default is No. Setting this option to Yes allows you to enter text for an automatic response each time someone sends email to the list's -owner address. Recommended setting is No.
Autoresponse to messages sent to -request address:
Default is No. Setting this option to Yes allows you to enter text for an automatic response each time someone sends email to the list's -request address. Recommended setting is No.
Autoresponse grace period:
Default is set to 90 days, and is only enabled if you choose to send autoresponses. The option means a message poster will only receive an autoresponse to messages posted to the list once every 90 days. Setting this option to 0 will send an autoresponse to every message from the poster.
