6) Do not respond to messages that do not explicitly contain your
address in the To: or Cc: headers.
7) If you really must respond, do so to the SMTP reverse-path, not the
From: or Reply-to: header address
8) Use a null reverse path for the OOO, and list owners configure lists
to reject or route for moderation anything with a null reverse path.
