Resolved Mass auto-reply

Hi,

I'm using POSTFIX & Dovecot for as mailserver software.
I was wondering if there's a way to send auto-responders / auto-replies for multiple email accounts rather than per individual account.
I think there used to be an extension called 'Mass email manager' but that no longer exists.

Thanks in advance!

Hello @Djabber

Could you please share more details?
In general, auto-responders send replies to every email address that reaches the mailbox with the enabled feature.

If the questions is about managing multiple mailboxes at once (enable/disable the feature), it can be done by using the CLI utility. The details are described in this article:
How to enable/disable autoresponder in Plesk
Note: Under the spoiler "Enabling/disabling autoresponder", the part with "To disable autoresponder for multiple mailboxes".

Thanks! I was kinda hoping there was an alternative with a GUI that allows you to make groups and enable an auto-reply for said groups.
But i'll try to figure it out using ssh.

Thanks again.

As far as I am aware no email services has support for enabling auto reply in mass unless you use the CLI, not even with Microsoft Exchange where you need to use PowerShell to do a loop like what was suggested by mikhail and this mainly because it's under the assumption that the users themselves enabling it and adding a custom auto reply message or an IT admin is doing it on a single mailbox with more advanced (like what you're doing to do) would need to be done through the CLI. (Hopefully I'm making sense).

You make it sound like MS Exchange is a nice tool… (FYI: It sucks)
