How do I set up an Email Autoresponder?
It’s a bit tricky, but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy. First of all create a text file using an HTML editor such as Arachnophilia – do NOT use Notepad or any other word processing program – it will not work! This text file is the text your Autoresponder will return to whoever emails to it. Let’s say it’s called text.doc. Now, using CuteFTP, upload the file text.doc to your HOME directory. Note, this is NOT the same place you put your html documents. Once the file text.doc is on the remote server in your HOME directory, you must RENAME it so that it does not have an extension. Do this in CuteFTP by going to COMMANDS, then RENAME – rename your text.doc file, simply text Once this is done, any email sent to: text@yourdomain.com, will immediately receive an email back from text@yourdomain.com, and the body of the email will contain the text file. Please note also: make sure you do NOT have an actual POP3 email box called text@yourdomain.com – this would create a problem.
