I've considered, but ruled it out. I can't rely on the network to be
available...
Another, totally unrelated note:
This is actually the third reply I get to my message. The first two were
from two very kind people that bothered telling me that they are not
available to answer my question. (Actually: One of them even did so in
German, so I can only guess that this is what he meant). Needless to say
that this was a great help.
Both of them seem to use exchange 5.5, if I read their headers correctly
("X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2654.52)"). This wonderful
auto-replier seems to have ignored the fact that this message had an
Errors-To: headers and went on to send the "out-of-office" replies to the
original sender, instead of the list owner (the list owner may have taken
an action such as suspending the membership temporarily, on the account of
a non-nettiqual behaviour which causes unnecessary traffic).
People: if you don't want to cause problems, don't use broken
auto-repliers.
BTW: I wonder what happpens if you let two such auto-repliers reply to one
another...
