Supposedly two prof.'s both went on summer sabbaticle, [sabbaticAL! Ever try ``spell''? Just a nit.] setting their mailers to respond to all mail with a "I'll be back in a couple of months" message. Just to be sure, they also sent the message out immediately to all their colleagues they communicated with frequently. A few days later, the whole net slowly ground to a halt... Fortunately the MMDF auto-mail-responder notes to whom it sends its response, and inhibits further automagic replies. - Chris
