Penn State faculty and staff can now create customized automatic e-mail reply messages to e-mail messages that are received while on vacation, on sabbatical, or on leave from the University. This service, available via the CAC Secure Server at https://www.work.psu.edu/vacation/, was designed by Advanced Information Technologies (AIT) of the Center for Academic Computing.
The easy-to-use Web interface lets you specify automatic reply message start and end dates, create a personalized automatic reply message, and stop the automatic reply message. E-mail received during this time period can be downloaded and viewed as normal. The automatic reply message will still be sent to all messages received unless you choose to stop the current automatic response. Only one response will be sent to multiple e-mail messages sent by the same person and the automatic reply will not be sent to any listservs to which you belong nor will it be sent to any bulk e-mail messages.
