I think considering them spam is a little strong. Consider the POV of the email server whose local recipient is OoO. Ideally I think OoO should be an SMTP extension, reported to the sending MTA at RCPT time. As a practical matter, I think if the received email passes an SPF check, there should be no objections to sending an OoO reply. -- Matthew.van.Eerde (at) hbinc.com 805.964.4554 x902 Hispanic Business Inc./HireDiversity.com Software Engineer
