The NANOG Mailing-list usage guidelines prohibit auto-reponse postings to the list or to other users: https://www.nanog.org/resources/usage-guidelines/ The mailing list admin team ([email protected]) can take action to prevent auto-responders decrease the signal to noise ratio. As multiple users have now made a report about an auto-responder, I'm sure the issue will be resolved soon. > And either way, what is the policy about forwarding list email to > someone who is not on the list? The NANOG mailing list is a so-called 'public' mailing list. Emails send to the list are distributed to all subscribed email addresses, and in addition to such this distribution, list postings archived at a publicly accessible location for anyone prefering to use a web browser: https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/ It is possible for users to distribute NANOG mailing list postings through other means, such as additional forwarding and archiving (example: https://marc.info/?l=nanog) The NANOG mailing list AUP does not prohibit forwarding of emails which were sent to NANOG the list to people not on the list.
