Re: Consolidated auto-reply omit mailling lists howto page?

Maybe I am confused, but the only way I know how to stop them from =
coming is to put the specific listserv in the rules when setting an out =
of office message. I am sure many of you are like me, and belong to =
several (sometimes dozens) of listservs. It seems pretty time consuming =
to have to copy and paste all the addresses to the dozens of listservs =
in my out of office setup. =20

I rarely use the out of office, as even when I am on vacation, I am =
usually check my mail daily. However, the couple of times I did use it, =
I made sure I checked the "only once per sender" option. It seems to =
me, it is much less time consuming to click the delete key on the few =
out of office emails we get, then to have all of us have to set up the =
rules for all the listservs we belong to.

Or...am I missing an easy way to do this?

Maybe it is just me but I am surprised at how many auto-reply out of =
office emails we get on this list and other tech education lists. I will =
compile a consolidated page with email client configs to show people how =
they can omit maillists like ISED from the backscatter. If you have an =
client configs to contribute, please send them my way.=20

Guessing Outlook, Entourage, Thunderbird and the various backend servers =
like Exchange, Gmail, Zimbra and Kerio would be the ones to start with. =
Any help appreciated and credited.=20
