Email auto-reply not sending

4.5

Your "Out of Office" or "Vacation Responder" is not replying to incoming mail.

Symptoms
  • No replies sent
  • Sender gets nothing
  • Status says "On" but inactive
Possible Causes
  • Incorrect dates
  • Internal only setting
  • Spam protection

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Check Start/End Dates

Ensure the current date is within the range you set.

2

Enable for External

Ensure "Send to people outside my organization" is checked.

3

Test with Different Email

Send a test email from a non-work account to verify.

When to See a Technician

Most providers only send one auto-reply per sender every 4-7 days to prevent "Email Loops".
