Setting a Vacation Message (Automatic Reply) in Wayne Connect

Going away and won't be able to check your WSU e-mail?

Do you want people who send e-mail to you to know that you are away and unable to respond? The solution is to set up the Wayne Connect Web Interface to send an automatic reply (often called a vacation message).

When you set an automatic reply in Wayne Connect, the mail server sends that message in response to e-mail sent to you as follows:

Individual IDs—SENDS the message.
Distribution Lists—DOES NOT SEND the message.
Time Interval—SENDS to each recipient ONLY ONCE during the time period the message is active, regardless of how many messages that person sends you.

Setting the automatic reply or away message

Log in to the Wayne Connect Web Interface.
From the Preferences tab, click the Mail tab.
In the Receiving Messages section (at the bottom), check Send auto-reply message.
In the text box, type your message; e.g., "I’m out of the office until March 6 and will contact you when I return."
Set the Start and End Dates to use this "away" message.
Click Save (in upper-left of tab).

Turning off the automatic reply

Log in to the Wayne Connect Web Interface.
From the Preferences tab, click the Mail tab.
In the Receiving Messages section (at the bottom), uncheck Send auto-reply message.
Click Save (in upper-left of tab).
