There are some very poorly written auto-responders out there and nothing you do will stop them "working".

How to not trigger auto-responders?
Hi, Autoresponders that I have setup before were based on procmail, they used the FROM_DAEMON check to not send responses to lists plus as a safety measure they'd only send one email to each sender per day. I host a club's website that has about 5,000 members, there are mailings to members done through the site and unfortunately the members love autoresponders. The site actually sends emails one-by-one to people and there are no headers to indicate that the email essentially from a mailing list. I am thinking of adding a "Precedence: list" or "Precedence: bulk" header to the emails in the hope that at least some of these autoresponders have some smarts. I know I can just send from an address that is aliased to /dev/null but I'd really like the emails to continue being sent from functional email addresses so that bounces and replies can be handled properly. Looking at the headers from the autoresponders, some identify themselves, many do not. I found "Internet Mail Service", Microsoft Exchange, OSM Client, and SMTP 32 vX. How have you guys gotten around the autoresponder problem in the past? Is there hope? -- Fraser Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.wehave.net/ Halton Hills, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux
