Sunbelt has tried, with unfavorable results, to filter the OOO messages to their lists. The list membership pretty much unanimously agreed that we would rather suffer through the OOO's than NOT get emails from the list. It's pretty easy with gmail & other mail readers etc to write a rule to just delete those items on YOUR mailbox. That's what I do (I'm using gmail), and the only OOO's that I usually ever see are the ones that are in some other language besides English.
Don't blame the people that have OOO's coming to the list, it's typically because the management at their company has dictated that OOO's be allowed to the internet so these Exchange admins have no choice in the matter, and management has said that if you're out of the office, you must use the OOO function in Outlook. Have a nice day.
