Yeah I suppose it was :) There are a couple of reasons. What they are doing is bad, no email server should autorespond like that. autoresponders are bad Now, if they decide to autorespond to your autorespond, you're going to flood both your network and their network and infinatly send a message back and forth. If you don't want to see those messages I would suggest, then, to have your server send the message to /dev/null. Ok.. I take that back now.. a 550 should get terminated by the sender. Forget all the above.. cept the first sentence.
