Actually the problem is Jessica's mail server responding to its own out of office reply.
But yes I am surprised that Michael hasn't got the list set to reject these - I think he has on most other lists.... Anyway, I think we should probably maintain "radio silence" until "Jessica" stops sending these, otherwise we'll only exacerbate the situation.
