Ahhh, good point. But I believe that most mail programs (including
Lookout) will only auto-respond to messages where the owners address is the
only one in the "TO:" field. (Someone correct me if they know better...I'm
on Eudora here...) Since messages from the mailing list are send TO:
"php-general <email protected>" then the autoresponders should ignore
them. This would be consistent with the fact that I've posted a few
messages to this list over the past few weeks, messages that must have been
delivered to at least hundreds of mailboxes with my address as the
reply-to, yet I haven't received a single automatic out-of-office or
vacation response to any of them...
