-----Original Message----- the mailbase, but when autoreplies default to the entire group, all hell breaks loose - I've experienced this twice on another mailbase. It just keeps recycling ad infinitum, screwing up everyone's mailbox -----End Quoted (and cut) Message----- The normal response is for the listowner to delete the miscreant as soon as they detect a robot, or at least to temporarily suspend them. That's what I do when it happens on the list I manage. Does anyone know if individuals can set their options for the "reply" destiny on Mailbase?
