The archives contain several clever ideas for this. My favorite is to front-end the mailing lists with a procmail script. In the script look for drivel that indicates the response is from a clueless fellow and then redirect it to the admin (me) for a good stern warning note about how-to setup an out of office message!
I liked another fellows approach; he already runs all his incoming mail through spam-assassin so he added a few rules to trap these as spam. I have to say that I agree with him that 99.9% of these messages are completely unnecessary.
