Why do so many supposedly clueful people have their vacation message system respond to mailing list email?
Among the ones I found when I looked into the question with some rigor a few years ago were that mailing list traffic often no longer has a useful "precedence" value that was used to screen such mail.
Surely regardless of the presence of precedence you would never autoreply to an email that wasnt addressed to you personally?
I would not, not would an autoresponder that I would use. But this was addressed to me, cc NANOG, with no precedence indicated. My point, pretty much exactly.
