Is it possible that the header information might be inviting the "on Vacation" message?
I spoke with one systems administrator who said that my messages were being received with PRECEDENCE=NORMAL, and the sysadmin uses that to gauge who gets an auto-responder.
If messages arrive with PRECEDENCE=LIST
The list uses the
Precedence: list
header, as well as several List- headers. There is no reason for a properly configured vacation program to treat the list email as "normal" email.
