For example; I am required to set an out of office (OoO) when I am going to be, well... Out of the office. Unfortunately, this will reply to mailing lists as well as individulas. However, it doesn't reply to every email. Once the OoO is sent to a recipient, that recipient is tagged, and subsequent messages from that address are not replied to. So, worst case scenario, the list gets one OoO message.
Now... Knowing that even one OoO is annoying in a high traffic mail list, I don't subscribe with my work email address. Hence, you should never see an OoO from me.... But I thought it would be good to point out that often you won't see more than one OoO from an individual user.

No. I went ahead and disabled mail to her account. She can reenable when she gets back.
Let me emphasize this, though. Please, if you setup a vacation responder, make sure it does not reply to the list. If it does, your account will be set to not send e-mail.
Cheers, Tanner
