Limit the details you share in automatic email replies on Gmail

If you’re headed on vacation, it’s a good idea to set up automatic replies from your email. In Gmail, go to Settings and scroll down to “Vacation responder” under the General tab. You can include some amount of information, like when you’ll respond to emails, but keep it to a minimum. Remember, while you might be careful about not replying to any sophisticated spear-phishing attempts that make it past your spam filter, your “Vacation responder” won’t be so discerning about who it sends a reply to.
