Admin Vacation Email Setup

Lamont-Doherty Administration Mail Vacation Setup Page

 

Purpose:  Set up auto response away message.

The vacation/away 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.

Note: LAMONT users should use LDEO's Web Vacation site.
