Vacation setup for email

Can someone remind me how to set up email to send an automatic notification while I am on vacation?

In your browser of choice (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc.), go to http://webmail.arizona.edu. Log in with your UA NetID.

  • choose Filters in the blue bar across the top 
  • click on Vacation
  • check Do not send responses to bulk or list messages
  • suggest you leave Number of days between vacation replies set to 7
  • enter Subject of vacation message
  • enter Reason, which will be the text of the email message
  • click Save
  • click Return to Rules List
  • click the red-circle-with-slash in the Enabled column to change it to a green check mark; this means the vacation message is enabled (on)
  • upon your return, click the green check mark to change it to a red-circle-with-slash; this means the vacation message is disabled (off)

To make this procedure work even more like the old vacation program, you could create the following crontab entry:

1 1 * * sun /bin/rm /home//mail/vacation.cache >/dev/null 2>&1

This would delete the vacation.cache file once a week (every Sunday at 1:01 am).
