I try to cover the bases for most out of office subjects and reject them.
My lists would probably be dropping this thread though...  Here are my
standard content filtering rules:

subject: Out of the office
action: reject
subject: automated response
action: reject
subject: OutOfOffice
action: reject
subject: Out Of Office
action: reject
subject: I am not here
action: reject
subject: Gone Fishing
action: reject Get back to work!!

The last was entered as a joke that has sort of stuck around....

So far, I've had no complaints on the 40some lists on our site.  Before we
switched to LSoft, this was a hugh problem.

Re: [LSTOWN-L] Out of Office AutoReply: Help Deleting Archives






Perhaps this would be a good opportunity to ask - what is
the best way to filter messages to a list based on content?

Return Reciepts from Exchange are also pesky, I've found,
as they generate automatic responses from every Outlook
client in use among list members.

It would be nice to be able to design these list management
problems out - everyone gets a braino once in a while.

Thank

Have I mentioned recently how much I loath ooofbots?  That a subscriber
to this list would implement an ooofbot, without first setting his list
subscription NOMAIL, or at least DIGEST, is, to me, incomprehensible.
