Poor Man's Autoresponder
Category Networking Email Etiquette
Often when you send a message to a sales@ or info@ or support@ address of a large company, you receive an automated response indicating that they received your message (which is a lie anyway, it just means that the Internet ain't broke). Somehow that makes people feel good. "Yay! My email made it there! Now we're cooking with gas!".
This was so funny I had to take a picture. I want information from Netgear about their VPN client licenses. Apparently instead of using a proper autoresponder, sales@netgear.com is just "out of the office". Oh, and...it may take 2 days for sales to get back to me. What if I were interested in $100,000 of managed switches?
