Instructions for group owners and managers looking to configure an auto-reply for their Google group.
Overview
Group owners and managers can set up auto replies for their groups. Auto replies are messages sent automatically when people email the group. These replies let senders know their messages have been received. If message moderation is turned on, an auto reply is sent only after a message is approved.
