	Considering that it is usually the security-types in an
organization who subscribe to firewalls, I wonder if it's a useful
information gathering excercise to watch for stuff generated from dumb
vacation programs like this on firewalls, bugtraq, etc. (I'd include
NTSEC and friends, but every NT mailing list I've ever been on gives
me more of these back for every post than I'd have time to probe :)
for times to probe sites.

	"Hello world, the security geek is away until Wednesday"...

	I think that's a good enough reason to take a hard look at what
you use to autoreply to mail.

	-Bob
