Alright, so I don't know much about servers, but basically I am trying to set up an autoresponder through the mac mail app, the only way this is possible is if the app is open 24/7, I don't want that to have to be the case.

I don't completely understand servers, but I have Parallels for Mac, so basically a virtual machine, could I buy a personal windows server or mac server, and run the app in the server somehow, or set up an autorespond using the server? Please don't suggest auto responder services like Aweber or whatever, my autorespond need doesn't quite fit into them, and yeah...

Thanks for any feedback
