On another List Managers' list, I read that Paul DuBois <[log in to unmask]> has a rules file (for his majordomo list) with code to bounce (to the list owner) any submission who's Subject field matches any of a set of patterns indicating that it is an automatically generated delivery or receipt confirmation. Paul's patterns are: .*Delivery Confirmation .*Receipt Confirmation .*RCPT .*ACK (I would add to Paul's list a few more patterns for automatically generated "Vacation Notification" and "Out of the Office" messages.) My questions to VM LISTSERV people are: 1. Can LISTSERV for VM (in my case version 1.8a) accomplish this effect with EXIT routines? 2. Is anyone willing to share a VM EXIT routine which does this (that is, which rejects and sends to the list owner all postings whose Subject lines match one of a list of patterns)?
