Vacation automatic email response


This service allows you to have an automatic reply sent to anyone who sends you email. You can also forward your email to another address in your absence.

If you have already used this service and want to disable it, you can use the vacation mail disabler below.

Now you can enter the email address of the person who you would like a copy of your messages forwarded to. If you don't want your messages forwarded you can leave the box blank.

Do not enter your own address here or you will receive TWO COPIES of all incoming messages. Your messages will get through to you regardless of whether you enter your address here or not.

Forwarding email address: 

You can have a message sent to the sender explaining that you are away, such as
"I am on holiday until 25 April, your message is being forwarded to James McBufkin, I will read it myself when I return".
If you do not want a response to appear only want to forward or redirect your email, then it is probably just an email forward which you need, in which case you can use the email forwarding service instead. If you would like to forward a copy of your email elsewhere and also retain it locally without sending an auto response, simply leave the message box blank.

Type in your message below:

By default, the vacation message service will reply to incoming emails once per week per sender. If you would prefer it to respond once per two hours, once per day or even a longer period, please enter that period (in hours) below. For example 24 hours, 168 hours (one week), 720 hours (30 days).
Response frequency:

Because a large volume of spam still gets past the ITS spam filter service, your Vacation response will respond to junk mail which is usually sent from forged email addresses. This will result in bounced emails being sent back to you.  To avoid this, you can choose to not have your Vacation response go to non UWA email addresses.

Respond only to UWA email addresses:
