Clone of Admin Vacation Email Setup

Lamont-Doherty Administration Mail Vacation Setup Page

Purpose: If you will not be checking your email for some time, it may be useful to have an automatic reply that notifies correspondents.

The vacation service will automatically reply to any incoming mail you receive while you are away or unable to attend to your mail -- for example while on vacation or out of town. That's a courtesy to let others know why you're not answering them. This form let's you install (or remove) a vacation message on this server. You should edit the default message, in the textarea below.

This is a tool for admin.ldeo.columbia.edu users ONLY. Lamont users should use LDEO's Web Vacation site.
