  1. Log in to cPanel.
  2. In the Email section, click Autoresponders.
  3. Click Add Autoresponder.
  4. Enter the Email address and choose the Domain.
  5. Fill in From, Subject and the Body of your reply.
  6. Set the Interval, which is how many hours to wait before replying to the same sender again, so people don’t get flooded.
  7. Choose when it should Start and Stop. Setting a stop date means you won’t forget to turn it off.
  8. Click Create.

To turn it off early, go back to Autoresponders and click Delete next to it.
