No, well, yes. The mailing list should filter messages with "(Out Of Office)" in the header and not propagate them to the list.
Gods help us if TWO people are OOO and autoresponding, as each will reply to all the messages on the list (total traffic tripled) and then each will respond to each of the OOO auto-responses (traffic now quintupled) then each will respond to each of the responses to the OOO auto-response (septuple traffic), then...
