Well, List-* headers other than those documented to be used for
mailing lists may not be related to mailing lists, thus suppressing
automatic replies. So far nobody I asked could give specific examples
of additional List-* headers used for mailing lists. For that reason,
and for compliance with the Sieve vacation extension draft 3, here is
a patch for the personal condition.
It also changes how Auto-submitted is interpreted. Before, it
had to contain the value "auto-*". Now it has to contain anything
but "no".
The patch is for 4.53-RC2. In case that makes a difference, just
say so and I will send one for 4.53.
