Re: Out of office replies

Out of office replies are considered spam (if you ask iron port's
spamcop tool) and should never be redistributed through a mailing
list.  

That said, what versions of sendmail and majordomo are you running?
Is there anything else special about your OS or environment?

Can you provide sample messages, headers intact but possibly 
munged to protect the (guilty|innocent), that do not go out,
and those that do?  It would be interesting to see if more eyes
on the problem might spot something overlooked.

My gut tells me you are probably right about sendmail, but if I
remember bulk_mailer, all it does is manage the quantity of 
recipients and still pass mail through sendmail for final delivery.
