The easiest method of setting up an automated responder is by filling out the interactive form at https://password.uoregon.edu/vacation/
You may also access this form by clicking the "auto-responder" link at the bottom of the UO Web Email page at http://email.uoregon.edu/
For those who prefer to use PROCMAIL and the PICO text editor, we’ve scripted a new program called TINYVAC to assist you in creating and managing automated vacation messages. The TINYVAC script installs a copy of the system default rc.vacation file in your home directory ($ HOME) To activate the program for the first time, log in to your uoregon.edu account via ssh and type:
% tinyvac
You’ll be presented with a list of options and some usage notes. Enter Options 1, 2, and 3 in succession at the prompts, e.g.:
Enter Option >>> 1 (this sets up PROCMAIL to use rc.vacation)...
Enter Option >>> 2 (this turns rc.vacation ON)...
Enter Option >>> 3 (this lets you edit your vacation message)
For details on how to use TINYVAC, including links to complete documentation, sample messages, and editing tips, see the TINYVAC home page at http://www.uoregon.edu/~llynch/tinyvac/
