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.
