Over on the redhalt general list, every so often a dozen or two of us will complain when someone sets their email to an out-of-office bounce, and we have days or weeks of the damn things in response to almost every post, but the RH moderator doesn't pay much attention to it. We've had some where it looked like someone had left that when they left the job, and it took *weeks* of complaints before the moderator paid attention and dropped them. mark
