The phrase "autoresponder" these days generally refers to anything that automatically responds to an email message. Auto' means 'Self' and 'responder' means 'reverting', thus an Autoresponder is a computer program which automatically reverts on the e-mails sent to it.
You can set autoresponder in two ways:
1. Server-side: The user installs the autoresponder script on his server and manages everything on his own.
2. Outsourced ASP - In this model, the user spends a monthly fee to the company which gives them the autoresponder service. It is a bit easier choice, as the former one requires some technical skills.
