RenoGeek's Computer Terms Glossary - Auto Responders

A auto responder is a special script used on email servers that automatically replies to recived e-mails.

People use auto responders to let other people know they are away from their computers and won't be able to respond to any e-mails for the time being. Or to avoid having to send the same email again and again as with requests for information (FAQ's).
