Thanks, but I hope there's a better way. I just switched from EZMLM to Mailmain and I never had this problem. The auto-replies used to go to the person that posted the message, not to the list.
Actually both are wrong, auto-replies are supposed to go to the envelope sender, which is the list admin address.
Ezmlm is much smarter than mailman for bounce processing since it uses VERP and knows exactly which user bounced.
That said, unless you have a list that does reply to munging (forcing the reply-to to the list), auto responses should never ever reach the list, whether you're using ezmlm or mailman If an auto-responder is broken to the point that it answers receipients in the To/Cc fields, you can block the sender, but neither mailman or ezmlm can do anything about it.
If you are using reply-to munging, that may be another reason to consider not doing it (but the sending mail server is still at fault)
