2. Click the Send automatic replies radio button. This activates automatic replies.
3. Click Send replies only during this time period and enter a start and end date and time during which your automatic reply will be active.
4. Type the text of your vacation message in the text box.
   
5. Click Send automatic reply messages to senders outside my organization if you want your automatic reply to apply to messages received from non-Northwestern email addresses.
6. Select Send replies only to senders in my Contacts list to restrict your external (non-Northwestern) automatic replies to senders in your contact list; otherwise select Send replies to all external senders.
