Everybody who posts to the list gets those, since the originator is in 
the posted message. I setup a filter that puts all messages with a 
subject containing "Out of Office AutoReply: [SI-LIST]" and similar ones 
(in German etc.) into the trash. That way, you get rid of most of them.

I wouldn't use a dummy reply-to address, since a lot of people (like me 
right now) are using the reply all button to send a message to you and 
the list (or they reply to you in private). If you put in a dummy 
address, you won't get those and the sender gets a bounce warning.
