I have several canned replies that I send to bad vacation responders
and to postmasters with virus filters that autorespond, etc.  But I am
nice and very polite.

The only way to make this a cultural change is to make this a cultural
change.  Setting up a bad autoresponder needs to become an
embarrassment to people that set them up.  They do need peer pressure
to realize that they are not being neighborly.

So yes, I hope many people apply peer pressure to chastise those who
set up autoresponders incorrectly.  But be very polite and nice and
educational.  Do not abuse them.  That will just alienate them.
Educate them.  Teach them netiquette.  Few people set out to be a dolt.
