I haven't found it a problem. I'm on a LOT of lists, and post a
reasonable amount, and so far the volume of vacation messages I get is in
the noise, as compared to, say, the volume of spam I get.
On the other hand, the occaisional vacation robot that replies to one of
the lists I run is a nightmare - mail loops are not fun.
Now, on a more practical note, how would people on this list recommend
configuring an autoresponder so that it ignores list traffic entirely,
short of having to configure each list individually?
