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 Web Access to Webmail or Remote Administration can use the options provided to compose auto response messages for themselves and schedule the dates they will be in use. Finally, automated response messages are based on the contents of the OOF.mrk file, found in each user's root \data\ 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.
