Re: [WSG] Who are the Away on leave Notices from? [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
but the point of IT is to make life easier. So it is the responsibility of the OOON setter to make heir OOON not mailstorm their lists and add more email to the already massive amount mail servers have to deal with. No to mention, this discussion would then be filtered out, so you wouldn't have been able to participate in this discussion. I believe in stopping the waste at source (conservation) over trying to fix it further down the line (recycling) as it is less work and a lighter load that way. That is all true, however… there will always be someone who forgets/does not know how to set up ooon properly - and no policies will save from that, so the only effective way to get rid of this kind of messages is to configure the mailing list software to take care of it. Of all the lists I am subscribed to WSG is the only one where these messages get through. I guess there are valid reasons why this is this way, but if it is fixable on ML side that would be a welcome change indeed.

Re: [WSG] Who are the Away on leave Notices from?
can we ask all Out of Office notification users to set their notices to only do this once per address per week (so repeated emails do not generate a mailstorm) rather than for each email received or perhaps get the mailing list itself to try and filter out the out of office replies.

Re: [WSG] Who are the Away on leave Notices from?
Of course OOOR notices are important but it is a trivial matter to set a list of addresses or domains this notice does not affect OR to send the OOOR to each email address only once in a week, so the sender knows you're out but does not have to receive your notice everyday.

Re: [WSG] Who are the Away on leave Notices from?
Looking at list message headers, I see that it mentions Precedence: list as do most widely used list managers like the open source Majordomo and Mailman systems. Other lists use Precedence: bulk. According to RFC 3834, the Precedence header field is strictly not recommended, but says that autoresponders (e.g. out-of-office-notification (ooon) systems) may choose not to respond. Smart ooon systems (like the open source vacation autoresponder available on any Linux/UNIX server) don't send ooons to lists or other bulk mail senders that identify themselves as such using the Precedence header field, as it's more or less universally undesirable to do so (just like the use of return receipts for list posts). Unfortunately, it's clear that many subscribers on this list don't use ooon services that recognise the list designation - perhaps they can raise their games (especially given that the software required is completely free for them to use). Apparently even Microsoft Exchange is smart enough to avoid sending ooon to messages flagged with the Precedence: bulk or list. A brief survey of Google indicates that Lotus Domino mail may not be, however... not sure about other widely used mail systems.
