This kinda goes along with the vacation message problem we sometimes seem to have on lists.

How should I handle stuff like this....

My list doesn't generate a lot of messages every day as its a one way joke list, but it does generate a heckuva lot of bounces.  Caught up in all this mess are these "Hey, I got your message replies" from several members.  

Does anyone know what turns this off to bulk mail messages so I wouldn't get these from the list messages, but other people with "regular" mail would?  I'd like to have a prepared message to send to these people telling them how to do it, and if it's not done in x-amount of time they'll be dropped from the list.

What software is it that does this?  Seems like I see Groupwise sometimes associated with these little annoyances.

Thanks for any suggestions or ideas.

Paul
