It is an indisputable fact that the hard working autoresponder has been and most likely will remain an integral tool in any marketer’s toolbox. However, just as with any “power tool,” this one needs to be used with caution. This is especially true in today’s Spam conscious marketplace.

Autoresponders exist in a number of different forms with various levels of product options. In it’s most basic form it can be found in the cPanel. Here it really only performs the basic function of responding to a received email. One can easily set it to respond, or send a return message automatically to any incoming email. Even in this most basic form this can be a very useful tool.
