Or the classic vacation autoresponder problem.  For those that don't
know -

Some random email is posted to mailing list.
Mailing list sends email to subscriber that is on vacation.
Subscribers autoresponders replies to email "Sorry, Dave is on
vacation."
Autoresponse gets posted onto mailing list.
Mailing list sends auotresponse to subscriber that is on vacation.
And around we go again for two weeks, until Dave get's back from Bali
to find his mailbox overflowing and he is cut off from all his mailing
lists.

(No, I've never done this B-). )
