I don't know if I missed anyone else suggesting this, but why not use a
separate email identity for the lists?
Your main mailbox kicks back the vacation response, your mailing list mail
sits in another box waiting for your return.

This is an interesting reaction to the autoresponder and, I hope, a
general one. You see, I enjoy participating in a small number of
newgroups and mailing lists but I don't want this participation to
generate email.
If I did feel the need to email, say, you, your email address would be put
into the whitelist as the message went out. If you employed some sort of
autoresponder defense, then I would navigate through it. If you really,
really wanted to email me, then you can. But you don't want to email me
because of my password autoresponder so, as I see it, everyone is happy.

email is welcome but may invoke a password autoresponder. )
