So I think I have a better understanding of the OOO problem, and why
ListServ setting won't stop it.

Outlook's autoresponder doesn't pay any attention to the Reply-To header.
It responds to the From header.  So any OOO sent from an Outlook client,
will never be sent to listserv, but right to the poster.

A different email client may have an autoresponder that uses the Reply-To
header.  In this case the OOO will be sent to ListServ, and this is why we
need to provide for OOO messages in CONTENT_FILTER.

Am I understanding this correctly?

I don't speak from direct experience but from reports about 5.5, 2003 is 
from direct testing.
