Oh dear, "Cyber Junk" from automatic replier without duplicate check.
Who ever made the system that they use, certainly never used BSD vacation,
or didn't understand reasons behind its recipient database system...

While you are at it, could you try to have the Majordomo not to clean away
message's "Received:" -headers ? To some people they are junk, but to
me they tell a lot about what happened to the message during its transit,
like it would have told me that the message really originated from ``the
House'' (or somebody faked it).. (And per default they are not shown to
the user, unless specifically asked for.)

These days I routinely dig up mailer logs due to email SPAMmers, and if
they have been stupid enough to use my systems, I teach them their error
in their ways... (My logs have a life-time of 5 days to 4 weeks, depending
on system, and its activity - with automatic roll-overs..)

> Sorry for the profusion of junk.

Likewise, I assume next great seller will be software that does
auto-secretary your email box, and weeds out junk email...
It would be the end of ``magazine subscription spam'' that I
have received from several lists this weekend..
