well, we will have email bombing from 2008-12-02 to 2008-12-06 :-P

Maybe we must have a rule "do not use autoreply feature for you email
address that registered on mailing list :-)"

I just updated my /etc/postfix/maps/header_checks and reloaded Postfix.

# Reject OOTO-messages
/^Subject:.*out of the office.*$/ REJECT Out Of The Office
messages will not be delivered.

Normally I shouldn't even get this message myself (because of the
subject).

OK, so that one didn't work. Because of the extra spaces. Aargh!
Now it's:

/^Subject:.*out.*of.*the.*office.*$/ REJECT Out Of The Office
messages will not be delivered.

Any comments, suggestions, improvements are welcome.

EDIT: now it works, because I cannot even *send* the email. Squirrelmail
tells me:

Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable
Server replied: 550 5.7.1 Out Of The Office messages will not be delivered.

So I changed the subject line.
