[nsp] Auto Replys

[Shalosky, Brian K Mr CONT USAREC]

If you are on an Exchange based system you can set up a rule that will auto
delete all the out of office replies.  I created a rule that looks for the
text "Out of Office" and deletes them.

Yes.

Indeed. People using Auto-replies should make sure their mail system
honours the "Precidence: List" header and not send out of office replies.
(Or just don't use autoreplies if you're on Exchange unless you admin
disables this to external addresse - it's broken)

A while ago the list admin posted to the list and people who responded with
out-of-office autoreplies were unsubscribed. I don't know if he plans to do
it again, at the time (Christmas) the number of replies was getting silly.
(20-30 OOO replies to one message)
