Hey The garden Doctor,
Check out the following instructions, it'll go over how to have Mail automatically reply to messages:
You can create a rule to have Mail automatically reply to incoming messages. For example, you can set up a rule that’s triggered by a specific subject so that Mail replies automatically to all messages with that subject.
- Choose Mail > Preferences, and then click Rules.
- Click Add Rule and type a descriptive name for the rule.
- Set the conditions necessary for the rule to apply to a message.
- From the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu, choose “Reply to Message.”
- Click “Reply message text” and enter the text for your reply message.Mail will include the text you enter, along with the full text of the original message, in the reply that it sends.
Mail must be running to automatically reply to messages, because rules aren’t processed when your Mac is shut down or you’re logged out. To set up automatic replies while you’re on vacation, ask your account provider how to set up an out-of-office reply.
Carefully consider the rules you create for sending automated replies. If they’re too broad, you can send messages inadvertently or create message loops (replies to replies you sent). If possible, test the rules.
After a rule has processed a message, the message’s status icon changes to a gray arrow to indicate that a reply was sent.
