Imagine if someone sent mail to apply-hr and had an equally
uncontrolled autoreply.
This is not a theoretical possibility. There are some client-side
implementations of vacation that reply to all (even bounces!) and
I have had to clean up the results. Sometimes we had to deny smtp
connections from an IP temporarily to make it stop.
Good point. Maybe there could be some throttling built into the
"autoreply" extension that Ken says people have considered writing.
10 autoreplies per day per address or something. I understand your
concern about mail loops.
Thanks, Ken, for confirming how the vacation extension works and for
the suggested workaround.
