Broken vacation rule [Scanned by Freecom.net]

[Greg Matthews]

'scuse top post...

I've never implemented a vacation message because I've seen far too much
of this sort of thing. Is there any docu on implementing sensible vac
message that wont spam lists, wont respond more than once per sender etc
plus any other gotchas?
