Hi, Gmail Users-- First, I know there is no "auto-response" *per se* in Gmail except for the vacation responder. I have searched Help and the Help Forum for what I want to do and applied the suggestions I learned, but it hasn't worked yet. I want to send one sender an automatic message that essentially says to go away. Help said to created a canned response and set up a filter to send that canned response by the name I gave it. I practiced with a friend, and this did not work. When I created the canned response, I left the Recipient field blank. But since my friend did not get that canned response despite my instruction in the filter to send it, I tried something else. I deleted that canned response and created another one *with my friend's e-dress in the Recipients field*. Interestingly (or not), it (friend's name) was not saved as part of the canned response. Meanwhile, my friend hasn't yet opened that email from me to report whether or not that canned message arrived. I am writing the group, admittedly prematurely, in case anyone can see the error of my attempts to date.
This was hard to describe, so I hope it is clear to you. Thanks for any help. ~D. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Gmail-Users" group.
