Topic: Auto reply for a group email account

[edb]

Can anyone tell me how I can setup an auto reply message for a group account?
I already have the vacation contrib installed but it only works for users not groups.

Thanks

forward the group to a user & configure user vacation message with the same named contrib

That won't work because there are multiple users in the group and if I were to set a vacation message on one of the users it would not be practicle.
The group email is an inquiry@mydomain.com and there are several people who belong to the group but all I want to be able to do is to have a message automatically sent to anyone who submits a question to the inquiry email address that basically states that we will reply within 48 hours.

Think laterally, add another user to the group and set a vacation message for that user

Ok, yes you may have a point there (duh) ... I'll give that a try.
