It is not spam, because it is neither unsolicited (by emailing someone
you allow them to respond, whether automated or not, I would say) nor
bulk. You shouldn't just call something spam just because you don't like

The vacation utility on unix seems smart enough to not be a nuissance
and still be functional for those who need it.
