You can configure major donut to drop out-of-office bounces. You need to look into the majordomo.cf file for $global_taboo_headers = <<'END';
There should be a list, under that, of bad subjects to bounce mail for. Add lines like this: /^subject:\s.*\bout of the office\b/i /^subject:\s.*\bout-of-the-office\b/i or (for vacations) /^subject:\s.*\bam on vacation\b/i /^subject:\s.*\baway on vacation\b/i You can tweak the conf file as you see new ones making through. Those four will handle most of the auto-replies from Outcast.
