[gentoo-dev] Maria Tsakiridou/Greece/IBM is out of the office today.

[Maria Tsakiridou]

I will be out of the office starting  04/08/2008 and will not return until
25/08/2008.

[gentoo-dev] Please don't use auto-responders on the lists.

Please do NOT use out-of-office, vacation or any other auto-responders
on the lists. It's bad list etiquette. 

At the very least, it will get you removed from every list, at worst
I'll block your address at the listserv as well, to cut down on how much
junk I have to filter through.

Both of the folk that got their out-of-office notes on -dev in the last
two days have been unsubscribed from all Gentoo lists.

decent vacation mail software ignores mail marked with a 'Precedence: 
bulk' header, as mailing list mail usually is (including mails sent by 
gentoo lists)...

I wish somebody would finally write up a RFC for this.

best regards
