Set up Mail Autoresponders

An email autoresponder is easy to add in cPanel. Autoresponders make up part of essential CRM practices, making sure that interactions with your customers flow in a manner that promotes your business and therefore your products. By having auto-reply type features enabled for certain emails, you better position your business for a number of situations.
