Create / Edit a Vacation Script Using MyAndrew

Before enabling the Vacation Script feature, you must first create the text and set the preferences for your notice.

1. Launch a web browser and visit the My Andrew web service. Under E-mail Options, select Mail Filtering and Vacation.
2. From the Mail Filters web interface, click the Options link next to the Enable Vacation Script option.
   
3. The Vacation Script Options page is displayed.
   Note: The first time you access the Vacation Script options, no notice exists for your Andrew account. This page also allows you to modify a notice if you previously created one.
   
   
4. In the Vacation Script Options area:
   • Select the Prefix the Sender's Subject with "Re:" option, or
   • Select Use the following subject and type a subject for your reply in the field provided.
     
5. In the Message Text area, type the text that will appear in the body of the vacation notice e-mail. This message should include your anticipated return date and when the sender can expect a response to their message.
   
6. In the Reply Interval field, specify the number of days the mail client should wait before resending the vacation notice to a sender who has already received it.
   
7. The My E-mail Addresses field allows you to specify other e-mail addresses that might be used to send you mail. Normally, the vacation notice will only be sent when your Andrew mailing address is used in the To, Cc or Bcc field. By including your other e-mail addresses in the field, the enabled vacation notice will be sent when mail is received at these addresses as well.
   • After entering an additional e-mail address, click Add Address To List to have this address added to the displayed list.
   • To remove an e-mail address from the vacation notice preferences, select the address and click Delete Selected Addresses.
     
8. When you are finished modifying the notice preferences, click Update to save the modifications and return to the Main page.
