Autoreplies and mailing list mails

2001-03-12 Thread Randahl Fink Isaksen

Dear Peter Ratz


I sincerely hope that next time you are out of the office you will _not_
send autoreplies to everyone on the Orion Interest list. You have now
informed each and every contributer on the list _many_ times that you are
unreachable, and this autoreplying will go on and on and on untill you get
back.

I know autoreplies can be a good tool sometimes, but please do not send
autoreplies to mailing lists - either unsubscribe from the list prior to
leaving the office or simply do not use autoreplies.

I am sure you did not make this happen deliberately, and I hope this will
not happen again.


Yours Sincerely
Randahl

It's most likely not Mr. Ratz's fault.  Vacation programs often rely on a 
Precedence: bulk (or junk) header in the message to determine that a 
message is from a mail list.

Unfortunately many lists, including orion-interest, don't include this 
header line.  It's quite possible that Ironflare's list software doesn't 
support the header, or perhaps they haven't had the opportunity to add 
it.  If it does would the list manager please consider adding the header 
line (and, btw, thanks for Return-Path).

Running mail lists can be tricky; there's some subtle issues that don't 
have obvious solutions - until you run your second list.
