I also think this needs additional language to ensure that it is within
the realm of the authority of the MLC/NANOG. NANOG has no authority to
prohibit autoresponses that result in a direct email to someone on the
list. Without this language, you will have a lot of people continuing
to whine about getting an autoresponse when they CC everyone in the
thread and one of them is on vacation.
Since this is the lists' AUP, whatever consenting adults do to their
private email that has no bearing to the list is clearly OK.
I already know of one case that someone that CCed nanog@ and the
original poster complained when they got an autoresponder. The proposed
language is vague enough that it does not make it clear if it applies
only to messages send through the list, or a message to any individual
that includes the list. If you all want to live in a vague world, then
that's fine by me, but don't complain when you get complaints that arise
out of the vagueness.
