Yes! That's why, when you presented your findings as if they
contradicted mine, you appered to believe that I had said something that
you were refuting. Ergo I concluded that you had misunderstood me.

Now that's an NDN, not a vacation autoresponse. Unless you find out
that it was artificially generated by the subscriber or that the
subscriber is the mail admin for the site, you can figure that an
uninformative or badly addressed NDN is not the subscriber's fault and
that the subscriber can do nothing about it. A vacation replier,
particularly if the subscriber is at an address from a retail provider
rather than an employee or student account, might likely be under the
subscriber's control.

True for the general case, but my lists allowed auxiliary posting
addresses for subscribers. Moreover, I noted the purge date (usually
twelve months from the date of suspension) in the record's comment
field, so all I would have had to do is put "never purge" there.
