address in the Addresses: Only reply if sent to these addresses: field.
If you have multiple addresses for your account, enter those as well, using a comma to separate the addresses DO NOT PUT SPACES IN BETWEEN THE COMMAS AND THE ADDRESSES. Example:
address1@physics.ucsd.edu,address2@ucsd.edu,user2@physics.ucsd.edu
Next, enter the contents of your away message in the Use the following message field. If you would like your
auto reply message to go out every time someone sends you an email, change the Days: Reply message will
be sent after to “0”, otherwise leave it at the default “7”, which means each sender will only receive one auto
reply email per week, no matter how many emails they send you in that time period. Finally, click on the Add New
Rule button.
