I think this sort of phenomenon is an excellent argument for using
procmail in place of 'vacation'. As long as you have minimal awareness
of what you are doing with procmail, you can avoid this very sort of
looping and still make a vacation response to legitimate non-list mail.
I'm no procmail weenie, and even I managed it in May. (Just look in
the man pages.)
