Instead of not responding to messages to known mailing lists, you should rather restrict repsonses to messages which explicitly mention your e-mail address in the header, just like vacation(1) did. That way, a configuration error will normally have effect that some messages don't get automatic responses, which is much more friendly to mailing list posters. -- Thomas Roessler http://log.does-not-exist.org/
