    Hi all,

    I would like to ask anyone planning to set up out-of-office software to
    ensure that it doesn't generate responses to mailing lists messages. The
    purpose of this dilligence is twofold. Firstly, it is not fair to people
    who post to this mailing list to be subsequently bombarded with hundreds
    of out-of-office messages. Secondly, an out-of-office reply typically
    contains a fair amount of information that may be of use to potential
    intruders, even if it is only your email address and the date of your
    return.

    Please configure your vacation software properly, or, if it cannot be
    made to recognize mailing list traffic, unsubscribe yourself from this,
    and any other, mailing list and resubscribe upon your return.

    Kind Regards,

    Bartek Kostanecki
