What about of installing something in .procmailrc that catches
vacation-replies, generates and sends an info-mail to the offending person
that he/she has been deleted from the list and then automatically delete
the subscriber?
- List members would never again see a stray vacation message
- It would require no work from a human once installed
- This would be not too hard for the subscriber, because he/she can
subscribe again.
- It would notify the offender so he/she has a chance to fix the
vacation-system and try again.
- Minimal bandwidth required
