Until the list oner fixes it, you can use any of the following rules in
.procmailrc to exclude the list mailings from autoreplies:

* !^From owner-
or
* !^Received:.*bulk_mailer
or
* !^Received:.*from majordomo@localhost

They are quite a good sign of a mailing list.
Also, a good "vacation" program shouldn't respond to messages that aren't
addressed explicitly to you, and the list postings have the list address in
the "To:" field.
