On the SAMBA list I had the below conversation concerning vacation messages and 
listserves.  Can Imail recognize mail with Precedence: List or in some other way 
recognize that mail is from a listserve and not send the vacation message?

Then your server is broken.  The Unix vacation program has been able to notice
list email and not reply to it since 1983.  Each message to the list provides
more than enough information (List headers, etc) for an automated process to
notice that this is a mailing list, and not reply to it.
