You know, I belong to perhaps two dozen email lists, and this one and one other are the only ones plagued with the "oof" (out of office) notice problem. Yahoo groups, in particular seem to have this well under control. I am on something like ten Yahoo groups, with thousands of members across them, and I never once have seen an oof on them.
My point is, there must be a software solution to this in the mailing list software. Yahoo must be filtering these messages, no? Isn't there a better mousetrap here, rather than expecting thousands of members to remember to edit their settings right before they head out on holiday?
