There are several other tests to perform (if you are a reasonable program, that is), before sending an "Out of the office" message. An obvious one is to see wether your human owner is mentioned in the To: field. Unless the list explodes the messages in one explicit copy per recipient, this is enough.

Of course, that doesn't work with a list that doesn't set reply-to the list. A lot of followups on nanog are reply-all, cc'd to the OP and anybody else who posted to a thread. srs
