If you have access to the desktop version of GroupWise, you can create an auto-reply rule to
do the following:
• Automatically turn the rule on and off on the specified dates.
• Send the reply only to local NCC users, not to external senders.
• Send the reply only to senders who write to you directly, not to a distribution list.
If you need assistance or have questions, contact the NCC Computer Support Center at
helpdesk@northampton.edu or 610.861.5413.
2. Click on the New button and type a name for the rule (for example, Out Of Office).
3. Under "When event is," make sure that New Item is selected, and Received is
checked. (These should already be set by default.)
4. Under Item Types, select the item types for which you would like to send the reply.
Or you can leave these boxes blank to send the reply for ALL item types.
5. Click on the Define Conditions button.
9. In the next textbox, enter the date of your departure (or click on the little calendar icon
next to it and select the date).
10. Click on the Endv button and select And from the pop-up list. This will add another
row similar to the one that you just completed.
11. Click on the drop-down arrow next to the first textbox in the new row and select
Delivered from the list.
12. Click on the next button and select < Before Date. This option appears near the
bottom of the list. It is not the same as "< Before," which appears further up the list.
13. In the next textbox, enter the date on which you will be returning to the office.
Note: This stops the auto-reply messages on the specified date, so you don't have to
remember to disable this rule when you get back. Next time you want to re-use the
rule, you can simply change the dates (and edit your message if necessary).
The next four steps will prevent the auto-reply from going to external senders. This is
especially helpful if you receive a lot of spam messages, as your auto-reply would confirm
that your email address is a valid one. You should omit these steps if you want your reply to
go to external senders (such as NCC students or vendors). However, be sure to take the
other remaining steps to complete your auto-reply rule.
The following image shows how your dialog box will look when the next eight steps are
completed.
