Another mailing list server I use for all my lists I admin (uses
majordomo) have a filter that simply bounces back all HTML mail to the
sender, along with instructions on how to set most MUAs to send text only
messages. Works perfectly.

Too bad that "out of office replies" doesn't come with a descernable tag
one could filter on.... or is there? I actually haven't looked.
