When a template is set to <a href=\"template-manager_template.html\" class=\"topiclink\">control this screen<\/a>, it will control the &nbsp;Autoresponder options for any account belonging to a <a href=\"groups_group-properties.html\" class=\"topiclink\">Group<\/a> that utilizes the template. <\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_BodyText\"><span class=\"f_BodyText\">Autoresponders are useful tools for causing incoming email messages to trigger certain events automatically, such as running a program, adding the sender to a mailing list, responding with an automatically generated message, and more. The most common use of autoresponders is to reply to incoming messages automatically with a user-defined message stating that the recipient is on vacation, is unavailable, will reply as soon as possible, or the like. MDaemon users with <a href=\"ae_worldclient_webadmin.html\" class=\"topiclink\">Web Access<\/a> to <a href=\"wc--overview.html\" class=\"topiclink\">Webmail<\/a> or <a href=\"webadmin_web-config.html\" class=\"topiclink\">Remote Administration<\/a> can use the options provided to compose auto response messages for themselves and schedule the dates they will be in use.<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\"> Finally, automated response messages are based on the contents of the <\/span><span class=\"f_PlainText\">OOF.mrk<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\"> file, found in each user\'s root <\/span><span class=\"f_PlainText\">\\data\\<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\"> folder. This file supports a large number of macros, which can be used to cause much of the message\'s content to be generated dynamically, making autoresponders quite versatile.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<div style=\"text-align: left; text-indent: 0; padding: 0 0 0 0; margin: 0 3.0625rem 0.8750rem 3.0000rem;\"><table style=\"background-color:#ffffe6; border:solid thin #000000; border-spacing:0;\">\n\r<tr>\n\r<td style=\"vertical-align:top; width:3.1250rem; height:3.1250rem; padding:0.3125rem; border:none\"><p class=\"p_NoFormat\"><img style=\"margin:0;width:3.1250rem;height:3.1250rem;border:none\" src=\".\/images\/lightbulb_on_50_yback.gif\"\/><\/p>\n\r<\/td>\n\r<td style=\"vertical-align:top; padding:0.3125rem; border:none\"><p class=\"p_Notes\"><span class=\"f_Notes\">Auto response events are always honored when the triggering message is from a remote source.
