In fact, I'm not sure: the last few times I've been away and have
had my out-of-office turned on, none of the out-of-office replies
have come through to the list (or it's silently swallowed them, 
recognising the phenomenon). This time, from this and a couple 
of other lists, I've had people complaining, and rightly so -- 
good thing I was only away for a day-and-a-half!

I shall speak to the team who manage our Exchange Server: maybe
they've turned some switch or applied some patch. If I come up
with anything conclusive I'll report it here. The only workaround
I know of is to suspend delivery via Mailman's interface.
