1. How to filter out “Out of Office” replies to the list.
I have found that putting the first few users who use broken autoresponders into a pillory has some deterrent effect, but memories need to be refreshed occasionally.
If for piddling legal or other constraints such as not finding a pillory in working order prevent you from using that approach, I tend to set "no mail" for those uses, and if there is reason to believe that it is a site wide problem, I may bar users from that site, or at least threaten to, always informing the postmaster of the site with the broken autoresponders.
I also direct people to my out-of-date rant on the subject. http://www.goldmark.org/netrants/auto-resp/ -j -- Jeffrey Goldberg http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/ ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
