Mail that you receive addressed to mailing lists, for example, should not generate a
reply.
The vacation program will not reply to certain listed senders. That list is hardcoded as:
postmaster
uucp
mailer-daemon
mailer
In addition, it will not reply to any address whose user part ends in -relay, -request,
or -owner, nor where the user part starts with owner-.
Sender addresses are looked up in a case-insensitive manner. Thus, neither ???uucp???
nor ???UUCP??? will have replies sent to them. The comparison is from the right side, so
addresses that end in -request or -relay will not have replies sent to them.
Note that the vacation program will not send replies to mail that arrives with too low
a Precedence: header value. Specifically, junk, bulk, and list are ignored, withno
reply sent.
