Re: too many "Out of Office AutoReply"

[Einar Stefferud <stef at nma.com>]

This solves the wrong problem.

The problem is that the autoreply out of office thingy responds 
directly to the submitter of the listserved message, not to the 
listserver, so there is no filterable contact between the autoreply 
and the list server.
