Please can people make sure that if they are away and wish to set up a
vacation type message, that it:-

  1. Has a rate limiter of some sort - ie does not reply to every 
message
     from the same sender


  2. Does not reply to mailing list mail - best rule is only to 
autoreply
     to mail that is addressed to you in the header lines


  3. Makes *very* sure it doesn't loop - best thing is to send autoreply
     from envelope sender <> (ie an error reply) - the exim autoreply
     does this.


[BTW I unsubscribe people that send vacation messages to the list or
the list admin address]

There is a reasonably good example of how to do this in config sameple
C006 in the FAQ - see http://www.exim.org/config.samples/C006
My only gripe with it is that it *should* check that the recipient is
in the headers by my personal prejudices - that filters out autoreplies
where the recipient is on some form of list.

    Nigel.
