Tom,

You bring up a good point about the auto-replies coming back to the list. However, when I last posted I got the following:

Max's message is annoying because I don't know him nor do I care that he's out of the office. As for the other two, they apparently don't exist anymore, but they're still on the list. Hello? Is anyone running this thing? Remove them from the list! Please! Clearly I am outvoted an having the list put it's own address in the "To:" field, but does anyone have aproblem with getting rid of people who aren't on the list? I don't see that as unreasonable. Why does every person who posts have to learn what people are no longer at some email address? Why doesn't the list owner take care of this?

Thanks,
