can we ask all Out of Office notification users to set their notices to only do this once per address per week (so repeated emails do not generate a mailstorm) rather than for each email received or perhaps get the mailing list itself to try and filter out the out of office replies. I agree it is disconcerting.....

While I agree they can be annoying, they are quite a useful thing for normal circumstances.

They are generally set up by the person who owns the email address (sometimes by their network admin etc).

Basically say if you were going away for 2 weeks, but didn’t want people thinking you were ignoring them (handy for work etc) you would set up the auto responder with that message.

That’s about it..

Hope that helps.

Are these away on leave notices from people who manage the webstandardsgroup.org site? Or individual people? It is kinda getting annoying?
