After all, to the mailer is the message origin (spreading > the post), not to poster. > I asked about this some years ago but the reply was that it's really out of their control because the mail arrives at that person's inbox with From=WhoeverPostedTheMessage so the mail reader does what it's been told and sends a reply to say that this person is out of the office and can't respond.
I've checked the headers and, as far as my limited knowledge takes me, all of the other lists I'm on seem to run the same way. I think this list has this problem more frequently because it's huge and has a fair number of subscribers in corporate environments (where autoresponders are more common). The only way to change this behaviour would be to alter the list manager so that messages where sent using a From=trash so that autoreplies went to a dump address. But if you do that then you lose any reader functionality that depends on getting the author of the message from the From= line.
