I’m sure they’re trembling in terror. Can you not figure out something as
simple as a how to unsub from a mailing list? Do you NOT see the link at
the bottom of every message? Can you NOT read instructions on the website?
Have you been using computers for longer than a day?

Well, the ones that reply to xxxxx@lists.osr.com seem to get filtered out somewhere along the lines in the mail delivery process to the list address, as I never see those.
The ones that reply directly to the poster’s email (which are the ones I receive, typically from the Microsoft folks) obviously cannot get fixed by anything that the listserv operator could do, as those messages don’t go through the listserv at all.
Given this, I would surmise that everything which can be done is already being done.

I tend to disagree.
How about adding a “Reply-To: ” to the mail header?
Then the auto-responder can respond to itself… hope it enjoys the
conversation…
I assume that this is a mostly tongue-in-cheek response, but I’ll bite anyway, having gotten way fewer hours of sleep than I would have liked last night:
Did you look at the mail headers on the messages you receive from ntdev? If you do, you might notice the following:
Reply-To: Windows System Software Devs Interest List
Also, as has been already mentioned, messages going to xxxxx@lists.osr.com already seem to have the out of office spam filtered out. Thus, changing the Reply-To: header is unlikely to affect the out of office spam you receive, as that goes directly to your mail address and is not processed through the OSR listserv.
Thus, this proposal is unlikely to actually change anything, other than breaking the ability to hit “reply” on your mail client for posts delivered to you over SMTP (which I certainly vote as a bad idea, for what that’s worth).
Furthermore, most out of office responders are smart enough not to get into a loop responding to themselves. So, the “desired” effect of spam-bombing people who happen to misconfigure their out of office notifications to go outside their organization won’t really work either.
