Autoresponders are managed directly from the cPanel interface.
- Connectez-vous à votre compte cPanel.
- Ouvrez le Outils page.
- Dans le E-mail section, cliquez Autoresponders.

As an alternative to deletion, an autoresponder can be temporarily disabled by editing it and assigning it to a non-existent mailbox. This allows quick reactivation later.
