Majordomo uses LISTNAME-owner as sender adress and keeps the original
To:
Unless you set a Reply-To Header that points back to your list, Out...
notices should go to the original poster, not the list.
Good autoresponders should not answer to a mailinglist-mail anyway, but
there are plenty of broken ones.
Therefore I would just avoid setting
reply_to=
in the list.config file.

You could try to filter using taboo headers or body, however
autoresponders can send pretty much whatever their
user/admin/programmer wants. There is no magic vacation-header or
something like that.
