# How do I set up an email autoresponder in cPanel?

An autoresponder sends an automatic reply to anyone who emails a specific address, perfect for holiday notices or acknowledging receipt. This guide explains how to set one up in cPanel.

## Creating an autoresponder

1. Log in to cPanel.
2. In the **Email** section, open **Autoresponders**.
3. Click **Add Autoresponder**.
4. Choose the email address and write your subject and message.
5. Optionally set a start and stop time.
6. Save.

## Writing a good message

- Keep it short and clear.
- Say when the sender can expect a real reply.
- Include an alternative contact if urgent.
- Avoid sensitive details, since anyone who emails will see it.

## Turning it off

Return to Autoresponders and delete it, or set a stop time so it ends automatically after your holiday.

## Troubleshooting

- **No reply sent:** confirm it is enabled and the dates cover today.
- **Formatting looks off:** plain text is the most compatible.
