Any of you who have posted to this list lately will know that one subscriber has a very broken vacation reminder program. He should get it fixed.
Vacation autoresponders should never respond to mailing list messages. Mailing list messages are marked with the header "Precedence: bulk" for this purpose. Vacation autoresponders should also keep a cache of addresses that they have already notified, and not notify them again until, say, a week has passed. We do not need to be informed ten times in a day that someone is on vacation. It's also handy if "postmaster" addresses are reachable, so that complaints can be directed to the correct party. But since that has failed, I'll vent my frustration with a bit of public ranting.
