Yes. Me, too. For LISTSERV-based lists, I always forward the OoO
reply to the list owners at listname-request@thelistservdomainname and
let the owners apply their own policy.
For LISTSERV lists where the subscriber doesn't have a major upper-hand
(i.e., customer), switching the subscriber to "Digests" is an excellent
policy. I tend to delete such subscriptions and then explain what the
former subscriber can or must do to avoid the situation again
(especially if the OoO message(s) are distributed). cheers, wayne
