Email Auto responder

[Stephen Goodey <st...@test-direct.com>]

Our office has been using James for almost a year now with very little 
problems.  One thing that has cropped up lately though is the need for 
some sort of automated response that can be sent to people in the event 
that a particular person is on holiday at the time.  I would like to 
avoid using the actual email client, since that would require the users 
PC to be left on while they are away.

Does anyone know of any system, perhaps web based, that can be 
configured by the user to send an automated message back of their 
choosing.  I also realise that this should ideally not reply to 
distribution lists.

Please can I have a few recommendations, there must be something out there.

Well behaved lists use the "Precedence:" header normally "list"
sometimes "bulk" the rule is "Don't send out-of-office responses to
mail with this header"

Hmm..Is there a master list maintained of email addresses used to post to
list-servs?  If such a list does not exist, how can an autoresponder know
for certain that it isn't posting to a list?  And if such a list did exist,
how could you keep it from being a list of spam targets?
