Auto Responders

WIG lets you set up auto responders. An auto responder is a mail box to which people can send messages. On receiving the messages, the auto responder mail box will automatically reply to the sender with a specific message. The message may either be a simple text message or it may be a binary attachment.

To view a list of auto responders set up in WIG, select Responders from the View menu in the WIGAdmin.exe program. The list of users will be replaced by a list of responders.

To add a new responder, select New Responder from the Edit/Responder menu (alternatively press CTRL+R). A Responder property sheet will appear.

Details page

The Address, POP3 and forwarding tabs show similar information to the User dialog box. This means that you can set up a responder to use its own POP3 mail box and you can forward mail sent to the responder on to another user or address. The Responder dialog box contains a File tab which lets you specify details about the information the responder will mail back to the sender.

The File Page

Use the browse file to select the file that you want to send. This can either be an ASCII text file or a binary file. If it is a text file, you can choose to send the text either as a text message, or as an attachment. If it is a binary file then you MUST attach the file rather than import the file into the response. If you select the Import file into response radio button and you specify a binary file, WIG will flag an error.
