Autoresponder
Introduction
Autoresponders are draft mails with special attributes.
When a specific event occurs on a recipient, autoresponders are scheduled to be sent to this specific recipient.
To activate this add-on, go to Plugins > installed and activate MailPress_autoresponder, then click on the settings link.
- Autoresponder add-on is using wp_cron facilities.
Reminder : wp_cron is NOT a scheduler like cron in unix, wp_cron will execute the scheduled job on time if your blog has some activities at that time, nothing is done in the background !

- Name of the autoresponder
- Slug : The “slug” is a unique id for the autoresponder (not so friendly !). In case of conflict, new autoresponder is not created or when updating, slug might be regenerated. It is usually all lowercase and contains only letters, numbers, and hyphens. It is never displayed.
