It's not autoresponders generally that are the problem...it is poorly
written ones which don't know how to avoid sending to list messages.  Often
it's people using MUA rules or self-written scripts.

You can try with content filters, but the creators of these bad
autoresponders are endlessly creative.

As list owner, you are:  unsubscribe the errant user (or if you insist on
being more gentle, mark the user as Nomail).  Send whatever explanation you
feel is appropriate.
