At the very least, people should set their "out of office" messages so that
they are only sent once to each address from which e-mail is received. This
also avoids the potential situation in which the message ping-pongs back and
forth between the mailing list itself (rather than the original sender of
the message) and the member, creating an infinite loop that can only be
broken by the list manager suspending the subscription manually.
All opinions are my own.
