Go to http://mail.igb.illinois.edu and click the Enter roundcube button.
Login with your netID and your IGB password.

Click on Settings in the upper right corner. This should bring up a settings page.
Click on Filters on the left hand side.
In the list of Example Filters in the middle of the page, select Vacation
The Vacation Filter Settings Window should open up in the right pane.
Please enter the following information
- Filter Rules: all messages
- Aliases: Enter "netID@illinois.edu,netID@uiuc.edu". Replace netID with your netID. Without this, email sent to your @illinois.edu or @uiuc.edu will not be processed by the vacation message script. The two email addresses are separated by a comma. By default the vacation message will only process emails sent to netID@igb.illlinois.edu and netID@igb.uiuc.edu.
- Subject: Enter a subject of the vacation message.
- Message: Enter a vacation message to send.
- HTML Message: Uncheck
- Charset: UTF-8(Unicode)
You can use the ${subject} variable. At each location the ${subject} is at, the original subject of the email message will be inserted. You can place this in the subject or message field.
Click Save. The vacation filter should now appear in your list of filters.
Make sure the filter is the last one in the list for it to be processed on all messages.

To disable vacation messages check the box "disable rule" and click on save.
