Perhaps it is a combination of two things. On other lists like Linux-Kernel, subscribers are not clueless enough to use an auto-responder that replies to messages that have "Precedence: bulk" set. Additionally, most UNIX auto-responders will only send one notice per configurable time period (i.e. a week).
Also, I think that other lists are running a filter up-front that removes messages that are from auto-responders. The list plainly is filtered already for spam (X-Spam-Rating: daedalus.apache.org 1.6.2 0/1000/N). Why doesn't it filter for out of office messages? George Sexton MH Software, Inc.
