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? -----Original Message----- From: Alan Thew [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2006 3:45 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Sender receiving OOO Replies On Thu, 17 Aug 2006 15:36 , Jeff Kiesel <[log in to unmask]> said: > We're running 5.5.
