The Unix vacation program doesn't reply to list mail. I've used it off and on all summer and so far haven't seen it fail. I think the header it uses is the "to" line. It will not, for example, send a reply to mail that comes "to multiple recipients of x list." You can, of course, change that default setting if for some reason you want it to reply to such mail. -- Natalie ([log in to unmask])
