[epub] Re: Autoresponders

[Ravi Jayagopal <Ravi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dianne,

From the context of your email, I'm presuming
it is an "out of office" kind of autoresponder
that you're talking about, and not the sequential
autoresponder type, where you send pre-scheduled
messages.

In your case, your autoresponder address is, say
report@xxxxxxxxxxxx

In this case, report@xxxxxxxxxxxx is an actual
email address, that just sends an "autoresponse"
- which could be anything from an "out of office"
reply, to a f`ree report or ebook.

So, it still technically is a real email address
with the capability of sending out an automatic
reponse.

So, to see who has been emailing you at this
address, you would have to download the emails
that are sent to this address, just the way
you would check your other email addresses at
this domain, like dianne@xxxxxxxxxxxx or
webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx

That is the only way you can know who is
requesting information from that email address.

You can either check that email along with
your other regular email addresses, or forward
a copy of all emails coming to report@xxxxxxxxxxxx
to your main email address - dianne@xxxxxxx or
dianne@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Hope this helps.
