Now I got curious of what's the problem of putting them on the same line. Why not?

This is a question about _auto-responses_. That means by definition that you cannot know who you're writing to, or indeed what the context is. The greeting, as well as the content, should be as generic as possible.

亲爱的 usually implies some kind of personal relationship, e.g. writing to parents, children, etc.

Depends on clientele, of course. The popular way to address people these days, especially in a business setting, is just a simple: **亲**. This might seem tacky though, depending on who you are dealing with.

I think the safest way is 您好, as 您 is the respectable version of you and works for males and females.
