That is why auto-responders should not respond to mail when the "mailbox" owner (the delivered to user) is not found in the To/CC headers. Send a copy of RFC 3834 to the developpers of the auto responder. There are unfortunately too many borked responders... As a workaround, use a list manager (mailman, sympa, ...) instead of a "distribution list". This will set the (envelope) sender to a list specific address (owner, bounces or whatever). so the original sender wouldn't get the annoying automatic response. > > > This seems to be a configuration issue though as there is no reason it > should send out an autoresponse for one of the members of the > distribution list if the mail wasn't sent to them directly.
