I caused a mail loop on this list some number of years ago. I set on the Friday I left, and by the time I got home, I remembered I didn't change this list to "Nomail".
By the time I got home to turn off the OOO, I had 20,000 email messages in my inbox, and apologized profusely to the members of this list. Fortunately, Lyris Mailing list manager , ( on which this list is based ) handles duplicates quite well. We use Lyris here, primarily for the cost, but this feature alone has saved us some serious embarrassment.

I understand that the reason usually given is mail loops. But doesn't Exchange only send 1 OOF to each Internet sender the same as it does Exchange users? If it will send multiple OOF's to the same user does anyone know why it functions differently with Internet mail? Has anyone actually had a mail loop caused by OOF? I would prefer not to allow it but need to be able to explain why.
