Automated reply to specific senders

[HAL KUSHNER]

I¹m getting some annoying mail from an acquaintance. Is there a way to
bounce, that is not accept his mail, and respond automatically with ³this
sender¹s mail is not accepted² or similar message. I know I can have it
moved into the deleted folder by a Œrule¹, but can I have an automated
response to a unique sender.
I am running Entourage 11.2.1/Office 2004 on an IMAC G-5(1.8 GHz) OS X.3.9.

Thanks/Hal Kushner MD

You can set up an automatic reply using a mail rule. Set the selection
criteria to be the sender's email address, the action to 'reply' and you can
define your own reply text.

Rules are created in the 'Rules' dialog, under the 'Tools' menu. Make sure
you create the rule in the right account type (different panes in the rules
dialog for POP, IMAP, exchange, hotmail, news & outgoing)
