Any "good" email client should suppress autoresponses (and probably vacation messages) to received email that has the Precedence: bulk or list header. Her client (or whatever is generating the autoresponses) is inserting the Precedence: bulk header in order to let the receiving end know not to send an autoresponse to her autoresponse.
She has set up an autoresponse instead of a vacation message as that is the only way that the list would be receiving autoresponses from her that are just responses to her autoresponse (this is her mistake-if she had set up a vacation message instead we would have only seen one vacation response from her as it does keep a list of those it has responded to). But the message we see from the list does not contain her headers-it has the headers that the list server inserts-and the list server is inserting "X-Imail: List" instead of "Precedence: list". The lack of the "Precedence: list" header from the list server is what has changed in the last couple of weeks.

This is from the headers of a notice I received directly (since I have an Outlook rule forwarding all her stupid notices.) X-Mailer: <SMTP32 v9.03> Precedence: bulk To me, this indicates 2 things: She has it set up as an auto responder and it is looping since she then gets the notice via the list and the latest version of the list server is striping the "Precedence: bulk" line and inserting "X-Imail: List" in its place.
