} I am looking for a way to filter automated out of office/vacation replies in Listserv 15.5.  I've read the users manual and it seems like I can filter phrases like "out of office" somewhere in the header, but I can't find the exact commands to do so.

You need the Content_Filter which goes in your listname MAILTPL file.

By email, send "GET listname-l MAILTPL" to Listserv.

If you get an error saying that you don't have one, thats the easy case.
Create one by sending to Listserv:

PUT listname-l MAILTPL  pw=your_password
>>> CONTENT_FILTER OOO and blank Subject
Subject: Out of office
Action: MODERATE OOO messages are not allowed on this list.
Subject: Out of the office
Action: MODERATE OOO messages are not allowed on this list.
Subject::
Action: MODERATE Please resubmit with a non-blank subject.
Text: Out of office
Action: MODERATE OOO messages are not allowed on this list.
Text: Out of the office
Action: MODERATE OOO messages are not allowed on this list.
Subject: SIBERNET-L Digest
Action: REJECT Please change Subject line to reflect the subject of the post you are replying to.
Subject::
Action: REJECT Please resubmit with a non-blank subject.


And make sure there are no blank lines and no signature following it.

For the case where you already have a MAILTPL, create a new email which
starts with the PUT command, followed by the existing MAILTPL file that
you just got and followed by the same content filter lines shown above.

You can also do this via the web interface but I will leave that as an
exercise for the student.  :-)

NB: Put the correct listname in the next to last "Subject:" line and the
"Action: line following it is all one line which may be broken by your
mailer.
