# Automatic-reply practice check

This is a fictional configuration checklist. No message has been sent by this file.

| Setting | Expected choice for this practice | How to check |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Automatic replies | On only for the planned absence | Reopen the saved panel. |
| Time period | Both start and end set in the mailbox's displayed time zone | Read both saved values. |
| Internal reply | Return date and an authorized internal queue, with placeholders replaced | Compare saved text with the internal draft. |
| External audience | Deliberate on/off choice | Read the saved external toggle. |
| External reply, if enabled | Return date and a public contact route only | Confirm no internal queue or private detail appears. |
| Calendar and invitation options | Only those deliberately chosen | Inspect each checkbox before Save. |

**Pass:** all saved settings match your real plan. A saved setting does not prove actual delivery. Use an approved test mailbox if delivery needs to be verified.
