Enable / Disable the Vacation Script Using MyAndrew

Once your vacation notice is created, you can enable the notice when you will be away. Don't forget, you must then disable the vacation notice when you return. Otherwise, those sending you mail will continue to receive a notice that you are out of the office.

Note: When the Vacation Script option is enabled, your notice is sent to anyone who sends you mail, including mailing lists. Be sure to unsubscribe to mailing lists before enabling the vacation script so that your notice is not sent to everyone subscribed to the mailing list.

  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 or the Vacation Script options page, select (check) the Enable Vacation Script option.
  3. Click Save (or Update) to store the change and enable the Vacation Notice.

    To disable the Vacation Notice, uncheck the Enable Vacation Script option and click Save.
