Our of interest, is there an RFC or some kind of standard for out of office notifications, so that they don't get sent to mailing lists? I'd of expected a much higher incidence of this than we currently see. -Arran Arran Cudbard-Bell <a.cudbardb@freeradius.org> FreeRADIUS Development Team FD31 3077 42EC 7FCD 32FE 5EE2 56CF 27F9 30A8 CAA2

The FreeRADIUS list sends X-Auto-Response-Suppress: OOF and Precedence: list headers - these instruct well behaved MUA’s/MTA’s not to reply automatically. Either the aforementioned users MTA/MUA is broken, or they configured it to do something silly. Regards, Adam Bishop gpg: 0x6609D460 Janet, the UK's research and education network.

Huh so it does. I've never spotted that.

Ideally you'd want OoO/vacation to ignore: Precedence: list ...which Mailman is already sending. But Exchange ignores it. You could set: X-Auto-Response-Suppress: DR, NDR, RN, NRN, OOF, AutoReply ...which is an Exchange-specific header that suppresses a whole bunch of autoreplies from Exchange that you don't want. But it's a bit gross. We set it on our Nagios alerts...

In my (considerable) experience, people who make extensive use of mailing lists are usually savvy enough to be aware of the risks of Exchange OoO and similar. So it's rare, as opposed to common.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3834 Shouldn't respond to messages where your own e-mail address isn't in the To: / Cc: / Resent-To: etc headers. And there are other headers such as Precedence that also indicate the correct behaviour.

There are probably more people with clue on a list like this, than in the usual corporate world. Matthew -- Matthew Newton, Ph.D. <mcn4@le.ac.uk> Systems Specialist, Infrastructure Services, I.T.
