Gmail / Outlook Express Auto Responder (with delay) for Noobs

The trouble with sending from outlook express is that it shows your ip address in the email header, also your internet provider will probably shut you down or warn you for spamming.

They not only warn me they change my outgoing SMTP port...:eek:
 
yeh, its not really a good option.

you can use a paid service like dnsexit, look for mailrelay. I've not used them so I cannot say how good their service is but it's an option not to show your real ip address
 
Okay, dumb question & Im sorry if it has already been answered here but..

I am using Windows Mail to mail CL replies. I use gmail addresses for my CL ads & all replies are forwarded from gmail to an email account on my mail domain name. So since all of my replies are sent from the domain email ([email protected]), what is the best way to stop Windows Mail from resending the same message when someone replies back.

I realize the OP explained how to overcome this issue with Gmail stops but is it possible to do when all gmail replies are forwarded to a domain email & sent from there?

I know I can set up a rule that states not to reply to "re" email but a lot of times people will put "re" in the title of their initial email to me. Then a good percent of leads will never even receive the first reply.

Thx in advance for the help :)
 
Right, I've tried doing this in outlook express 6.0 but I didn't have the send and receive options that are available in 2003 and 2007, and vice versa about the new mail rules I had rules that were for organizing but not for sending mail like setting up the autoresponder with the message etc.

Could anyone post some pics or tell me what I'm doing wrong please?

Thanks

You're not Spamming, you are answering emails....automatically. I know, try to tell them that. :tee:

Last time I checked Gmail did not show your IP in the email headers, but Yahoo and Hotmail do.
 
bruceorange: are you definatly using outlook express? Or are you using Outlook 2000 / XP?
 
thanks for this method, but I think this requires my PC to be on 24/7?
I might buy myself a VPS in that case ...

Yes, fraid so, VPS would be your best bet anyway, you can setup an smtp server and use that to send outgoing emails, this way you dont have to worry about the gmail sending limits and unless your sending 1000 + /hour you wont get any complaints. Drop me a pm if your struggling to find a good, cheap VPS.

Hi, I've got outlook express 6.0 in which I got with xp I have the mail options on it but no send and receive options...
 
thanks for the post homenet I like your nick and avatar specially
 
It's alright, I finally got it working! I think since I'm using free gmails if you use reply to all messages is better
 
I've got everything alright but the part about the full stop in between the e-mail.
I put it there but everytime I send an e-mail, the real e-mail address is used to send the e-mail. What should I do?
 
Correct me if I 'm wrong, but outlook doesnt work on new browsers ?
