Vacation Setup

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.

Note: Administration users should use Admin's Web Vacation site.

 

Warnings:
A) The use of this system is limited exclusively to users with valid accounts at Lamont-Doherty. For help contact request@ldeo.columbia.edu

B) This program will clobber your existing vacation and forward files

.vacation.msg -- the message
.vacation.pag -- data base history
.vacation.dir -- data base history
.forward -- to pipe to user and vacation service.

 

If you want to forward your emails and set up the vacation program at the same time, then you will need to contact request@ldeo.columbia.edu.
