Set those people who are using badly broken autoresponders [1] on "moderated". Or unsubscribe them - someone who is not able to use a mailing-list properly should not use one at all. Otherwise you can try to catch those autoreplies with expressions for the spam filter. -thh [1] Autoresponders should not respond to mails from mailing lists. They should not respond to Reply-To:. They should not send more than one mail to each recipient for every $x days. (How old is the "vacation"-program? Five years? Ten? Fifteen? And there are *still* people getting it wrong.) And, of course, you should never activate autoresponders on accounts you have subscribend to a mailing list. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
