RE: Do you realise how annoying it is?
I have had a habit to unsubscribe for my holiday just for that reason. Not much trouble, one email to do it and another to when coming back.

(b) If you can't/won't turn it off then unsubscribe from the EMC-PSTC list and re-subscribe using another email address with an emailer which doesn't have Autoreply turned on (let's face it, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of free email addresses available). A small effort on one person's part to setup another address (or to turn off Autoreply) would save hundreds (thousands?) of subscribers having to make the effort to eliminate/filter unwanted Out of office messages. ...or we could be very nasty and make a list of all subscribers who have Autoreply set, and route spam to them for a change (because that's what it is - unwanted junk mail) - when they're back in the office of course.

It's just occurred to me - if I send this I'm going to get another load of Out of Office messages! ...but at least it's not July 4th (think of the pointless OOF replies clogging the internet then!), and it's a Monday after all. :-) Oh God (again)!
