Icewarp allows users to define their own auto-responder via WebMail but it seems very simply at first sight. Only simple and static text messages can be designed there. The truth is that it allows users to use variables and commands which can make the auto-responder a very powerful feature.

The variables which can be used are:

%%From%%

%%From_Email%%

%%From_Alias%%

%%From_Domain%%

%%From_Name%%

%%To%%

%%To_Email%%

%%To_Alias%%

%%To_Domain%%

%%To_Name%%

%%Sender%%

%%Sender_Email%%

%%Sender_Alias%%

%%Sender_Domain%%

%%Recipient%%

%%Recipient_Email%%

%%Recipient_Alias%%

%%Recipient_Domain%%

%%Subject%%

%%Message-ID%%

%%Date%%

%%Time%%

%%Header%%

%%Body%%

%%Body_HTML%%

%%Size%%

%%IP%%

%%RFC822_Date%%

%%Header HeaderItem%%

Each of these variables returns actual values according to the message which was received.

The next powerful feature are the commands. You can set headers of messages by using these commands.

$$SetSender Sender$$

$$SetRecipient Recipient$$

$$SetActualTo To$$

$$SetActualFrom From$$

$$SetSubject Subject$$

$$SetReplyTo ReplyTo$$

$$SetMessageID MessageID$$

$$SetHeader Header$$

Example #1 (Simple Auto Responder):

Hello, I received your message at %%Time%% on the %%Date%% and the size was %%Size%% kB.

Example #2 (Advanced Auto Responder):

$$SetSubject Message Subject: %%Subject%%$$

$$SetSender autoresponder@yourdomain.com$$

Hello %%From_Name%%,

this is an automatically generated auto-responder message. I will answer your message as soon as possible.

Example #3 (Virus Warning):

Warning: Virus '%%VirusName%%' detected. Message was rejected.

Message's header:

%%Header%%
