... Supposedly two prof.'s both went on summer sabbaticle,
[sabbaticAL! Ever try ``spell''? Just a nit.]
setting their mailers to respond to all mail with a "I'll
be back in a couple of months" message. Just to be sure,
they also sent the message out immediately to all their
colleagues they communicated with frequently.
A few days later, the whole net slowly ground to a halt...
Fortunately the MMDF auto-mail-responder notes to whom it sends
its response, and inhibits further automagic replies.
