If an email notification status is 'Auto Responded', what should be done?

When an email notification status shows 'Auto Responded', it indicates that the recipient's email server has automatically replied to the message, typically with a notification that the recipient is unavailable or that their inbox is not currently receiving messages. This often happens when the recipient is out of office or if their email address is incorrect.

Choosing to correct the email address of the recipient is appropriate because it addresses the fundamental issue that might be causing the auto response. If the email address is incorrect, the document will never reach the intended recipient, leading to communication delays. By ensuring that the email address is accurate, you increase the likelihood of the recipient receiving the email and thus responding to the document in question.

Other options, like waiting for 24 hours or sending the document again without correcting the email, do not resolve the underlying issue. Ignoring the notification would also be unproductive, as it does not lead to any action that could facilitate the successful delivery of the document. Therefore, correcting the email address is the most proactive and effective step to take.
