That's fine -- if I get a vacation message from someone to whom I've sent
mail directly, that's not a bug.

I agree that's also a useful hint, but having written a lot of
autoresponders, once you get the To: and Cc: rule and perhaps special case
a few addresses like MAILER-DAEMON to avoid responding to bounces,
everything else is down in the noise.
