However, I think the IETF benefits from policies whose effect is
to keep the clueless and inconsiderate off our mailing list
until they can be educated.
Problem is, such a policy wouldn't be educating the clueless system or
network administrator or mail service provider who implemented the
broken autoresponder; it would merely be penalizing his customer. Few
of us operate our own mail systems any more.
One of the problems with autoresponders is that the person who uses them
is the last one to know how well they work.
