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!

I'll have to agree with all of this, specifically what John Kaufmann said.
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?
