Correct.

Yes.  There is also a Sender: address in the mail headers which for LISTSERV
list messages is set by default to the List-Address  (listname@servername).
Some OOO responders will send to this address.  So that's 2 ways an OOO
message might be sent to the List (instead of the From:) and you are right to
have a CONTENT_FILTER ready to intercept that.
