I wonder about people subscribing their main personal or business email address to mailing lists.

Kinda funny someone in charge of "Security, Stability and Resiliency Research" for ICANN, didn't have the forethought 
to realize setting an autoresponder on an address subscribed to mailing lists is an extremely bad idea.

Don’t get personal, it never reflects particularly well. Many UIs don’t allow users of an email system to configure a 
selective auto-reply, so you don’t know whether the person didn’t think about it at all or was prevented from applying 
an appropriate solution due to technical limitations.

Wonder how long until an admin at ICANN fixes this Monday AM flood.

Also, speaking about technical limitations - which mailserver in the world does send one auto-reply PER MESSAGE to the 
same sender? I haven’t seen this in ages, most seem to be sending only once or at worst once every day or so.
