Administrivia - Autoresponders

[Mark Mandel]

Is a single such response acceptable? My office's mail system keeps track
of the responses it sends when I've told it I'm away, and it only sends one
such response to any address. That prevents mail loops and floods of "not
here" messages, and it saves me from having to set NOMAIL on every one of
my subs when I leave and reset it when I come back.

Greetings.

Please be sure to either configure your autoresponder so it will not
respond to messages emanating from LISTSERV or to set your mail options
for the list to NOMAIL while you are away.  This will be useful in
preventing messages such as this recent message quoted below from
appearing in our Inbox.
