Presumably you subscribed to this list becuase you're a LInux-Mandrake user
who can benefit from the help of other users. The request that you not send
autoreplies to the list is perfectly legitimate. (And if one person actually
expressed it, you can be sure lots of others are at least thinking it.)
Your reply is an obnoxious and inconsiderate way to treat people who, as a
rule, go out of their way to share what they know.
I hope, rather than consulting your legal department (hubba, hubba!), you'll
ask your IT department for some help configuring your emailer.
Have a nice day.
