Re: Auto Responses?

What i love even better is when somebody on a mailing list, makes the email hand back a receipt, how many people on this list, 10k+? Ouch thats a lot of replies. Heh. Marcus Joyce JeRRy wrote:

I do support you too, Jerry. People should either somehow exclude 'php-db'/other mailing lists to be auto-replied to or they must keep off their auto-replies with themselves.

Yes most mail systems allows you to exclude certain domains from getting a auto response. Or if they own their own server they can do the same. Imagine half the mailing list people setting a auto reply, our mailboxes would be out of control. If one does it and gets away with it more will follow. I classify ANY auto response that has no realy meaning, eg out of office is SPAM! Different if your signing up for a subscription a auto message sends password and all that is a different story. But for this mailing list setting a auto response for the domains lists.php.net should not be allowed.

Its quite stupid recieving emails saying "I am out of office" when we are waiting for more urgent things.

Correct, my dog barking in the back yard is more urgent than that sort of message. Hence I don't have a dog, I don't think!
