Since these OOO messages come directly back to the user, not passing through
LISTSERV there is no way to control this directly by LISTSERV settings or
commands.  What you can do indirectly is (if you know the address which is
sending the OOO message) set that address to DIGEST or to NOMAIL.  This
greatly reduces or stops the messages going to that address.  If few/no
messages are sent to that address there will be few/no OOO messages coming
back.  Another aspect of setting them to Digest, instead of NOMAIL, is that
the From: address of the Digest will be LISTSERV@... which will receive the
OOO message rather than other individual users.

>Setting the subscribers to DIGEST isn't an option.  :o(

Of course you don't have to do anything.
