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.
Why? There is Mail-Followup-To and you can set Reply-To yourself. And you can always edit your headers (or have a software which can do it automatically like mutt). And the purpose was not to suppress *every* O-o-O message (they are very useful), just to lower the number and increase the average relevance.
