It's also handy to set your auto-responder so that it will only reply to any email address once (I don't know if all mail clients / servers can do this). That way, if you do forget to suspend your mailing list subcriptions, the list only gets on response.

If anyone finds themselves in a situation such as Jacob's, in addition
to setting your vacation message you can then go to
https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list, login at the
bottom, and change your subscription settings to temporarily suspend
mail delivery.

This will save a great deal of frustration and preclude having to deal
with vacation messages getting spammed to the list.

It can help to avoid other unintended consequences, too.

I use getmail, which lets me delete mail at the server based on certain
rules. An "out-of-office" bot sending it to mailing lists will get one
added to the list. Once added, forever added.

That simply means, once someone does this, I'll never see their mail
again unless they change email addresses. Not that anybody cares whether
I read their email or not, but if they come up with a question later,
and I'm the only one that knows an answer (i.e. some hardware thingy),
too bad.

I'm sure I'm not alone.
