Emails that ask a question and are solicited (i.e. you invited contact), I would reply to. If you get lots of solicited email that can't or doesn't require individual replies, you could send a standard reply. Just cut and paste the reply and do it manually. You could state that not all email can be replied to, in an advert and set people's expectations.
If you place adverts a lot, then how about a specific email address for this purpose and when the mailbox receives an email, it sends a standard autoreply? Most email systems allow this to be set-up.
Just ignoring solicited email, I find rude and irritating. Some sort of reply is good manners. |
