Don't your mailing lists employ some mailing list manager (like ezmlm)
that changes the envelope sender and adds suitable header fields to
stop vacation type programs from responding?  If they don't, they
should, and your complaints probably won't go very far.  If they do,
then these autoresponders seem to be guilty of two sins: Responding to
a header From address rather than the envelope sender, and ignoring
any indications that this is mailing list material.

Personally, I would be tempted to just remove these people from the
mailing lists in question.  With an explanation, of course.

bombed by autoresponders

1999-06-21 Thread torben fjerdingstad

Every time I post to one of our mailing lists, I get bombed
be responses from autoresponders. Off course they come from 
"Internet Mail Service (5.5.x.x) and off course
the postmaster email address does not work so I can send
a complaint. Sample attached.

Is there any way I can protect myself, except by dumping
all mail from "Internet Mail Service"??

Should I just buy a parachute?
