In the Vacation draft:
In "3.7. Restricting Replies to Automated Processes", I'd suggest
also saying that implementations MUST NOT respond to mail that has
any header fields which start with "List-".
Along the same lines should we also add something like:
... SHOULD not respond to messages with an Auto-Submitted field with a
keyword other than "no".
as suggested in draft-ietf-mailext-new-fields-15.txt?
Also from the same draft, perhaps we should recommend adding an
"Auto-Submitted: auto-replied (vacation)" header.
This functionality is already implemented in cmu-sieve. The vacation
program as packaged with sendmail uses the Auto-Submitted header as well
(although it incorrectly uses the auto-generated keyword).
I don't think we should introduce dependencies on other drafts, as
that will hold this one up until that one progresses.
Text regarding "auto-submitted" can always be added later, when Sieve
progresses.
