<< Not to mention if the recipient is on an automated mail list. We had
one a few years back that was virtually shut down when the owner went on
vacation at the same time several of the subscribers had set their mail
to out of the office responces. Talk about a 'do' loop! >>

There is a list member on a Yahoogroup I'm on right now that has an auto
reply set up on their address. It's a good thing they are on digest.
They must be since I only get 1 e-mail from them per day. I've thought
about e-mailing them and complaining but I didn't yet because I'm hoping
they'll get back, read the digests, realize the list was getting their
auto replies, and apolgize.

They even say in their auto reply "if this is a spammer take me off
you're list!". I really should e-mail them and tell them that even if
they get spam it's unlikely that any spammer will ever see there auto
reply.

I had that happen once on a list I own and I booted them right off
because they had a couple of links included so it was probably spam.
