Guide Review - AutoReply 2.2 - Email Auto-Responder

Any decent email client with reasonably flexible filters can reply to mail automatically while you're not at the office or not at home — if you invest a lot of time in setting it up.

AutoReply can do all that much easier, and in a flexible fashion. AutoReply lets you specify different replies for different accounts, and you can make it send auto-replies only to incoming mail matching certain criteria.

Unfortunately, these filters lack in flexibility, and you can't send different replies to different messages. Message personalization is generally a bit limited in AutoReply. But configured to reply to the same sender only once (or only once a week maybe), AutoReply makes a great holiday auto-responder.
