Well, I suppose that if something scores high on SpamAssassin, you could add a Precedence: bulk or Precedence: junk header, which makes some auto-responders not respond. (But this isn't guaranteed.) Or you could add an Auto-Submitted: auto-replied header to the incoming mail, which makes some auto-responders not respond. (But this isn't guaranteed.) Do you see a pattern? ;-) There's no nice way to do this short of (1) virtually guaranteeing that your auto-responder never gets fed a spam message, or (2) disallowing auto-responders. Regards, David. PS: If you *must* use an auto-responder, please make sure it behaves at least as nicely as Sendmail's "vacation" program, which is one of the better-written auto-responders. I've banned a few people from this list for using broken auto-responders. _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
