If you use procmail to filter things, follow the instructions here: http://www.inch.com/info/tech/HOWTOS/vacation.html and make sure the line you add is the very last rule. This will avoid any possibility of bounces to lists. I'm on /usr/bin/vacation now, and it's kept me from bouncing... Just thought I'd add this nugget, as lots of places use procmail as the delivery agent, and it can be a pain to set up in your .procmailrc if you're not familiar with the syntax.

No, the list is not fine. It should set the Precendence level. Your method would automatically assume that anyone who BCC'ed you was a mailing list.That's OK - I don't want to send vacation mail to folks that BBC me either. Useful rules (taken from 'man vacation'): No message will be sent unless login (or an alias supplied using the -a option) is part of either the ``To:'' or ``Cc:'' headers of the mail. No messages from ``???-REQUEST'', ``Postmaster'', ``UUCP'', ``MAILER'', or ``MAILER-DAEMON'' will be replied to (where these strings are case insensitive) nor is a notification sent if a ``Precedence: bulk'' or ``Precedence: junk'' line is included in the mail headers. Anyhow, enough non-operation junk for now. --asp () partan com (Andrew Partan)
