Nothing wrong with a proper auto-reply (one that does some decent caching, only replies once a day, avoids mailing lists and things with precedence: bulk, etc etc). The problem IMHO is that that is so hard to do. For example, our own auto-reply exim router (as requested by clients) checks for about 16 different headers in an attempt to avoid the most common non-human entities (mailman, roundup, eBay). So first prize is not having to use an auto-reply at all. Second prize is one that checks for common headers at the very least. If you don't have enough control over this (for example you're running exchange) you should either not subscribe that email address to a list, or you should not use the vacation feature. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
