If your mail setup is OK and functioning properly, each user may use the
vacation program. See the man page details.

NAME
       vacation - E-mail auto-responder

DESCRIPTION
       Vacation returns a message, ~/.vacation.msg by default, to
       the sender informing them that you are currently not read-
       ing  your  mail.   The message is only sent to each sender
       once per reply interval (see -r below).  The intended  use
       is  in  a  .forward file.

Take care,
