This is an issue for me as well since I do customer support. We have a department email address that I encourage everyone to use, but some of the customers still use my personal email address. So when I'm out for an extended period, I like to have an automatic reply letting them know that I'm not here to answer their question. I think the problem is more related to configuration. I have my vacation program set so that it will only send one reply per email address per day. It also ignores junk mail and messages with List-Id or "Precedence: bulk" headers. -- Bowie _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
