I'd agree that the above is useless. It sounds like the mailing list software needs work; some combination of better spam checking, temporary blacklisting if there's a deluge, together with a vacation-style only-send-one cache would be useful. One list should obviously not produce thousands of these per day to one recipient, but this still doesn't mean auto-responses - properly handled - aren't useful. Cheers, John. -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
