I think it was because we had 1 user, who set his auto reply out of office. So a message went to him, his out of office replied to the list, which was then sent to him, which the out of office replied to again, it went around and around for a whole day, I remember my inbox receiving about 250 emails just from his auto out of office replying to itself.
So a change was made to the list, so if an auto out of office situation should happen, it would be sent to the person who sent the original email, rather than the list, so it wouldn't keep replying. Personally I think the list was fine, but it was the auto reply software that was s**t, and should have recognised the list in the headers. Most do this, I know Lotus Scrotes does!

It's quite often more difficult to follow a thread on this list, due to the whole reply-to header. As i only joined the list in the last month or so, would anyone be able to enlighten me as to why this change was made? _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
