This problem is present on most mailing lists, some more so than others, and cannot be fixed by the list server itself. These messages are delivered directly to you from list members. The problem is an education issue. So you want "someone" to fix the problem? Look in the mirror. Become an educator. Instead of posting to the list as you just did, follow up in PRIVATE MAIL directly to those who have sent you an OOO or rule-based reply. A complaint on the list is barely noticed by the guilty parties, most of whom aren't even aware they are doing it. But if those people receive 30+ messages from list members, EVERY TIME THEY SEND AN OOO to the list, they will rapidly become aware.

I am tired of seeing automated replies. I am sure this is a problem for others as well
