And have a look at the vacation source code. Autoresponders are fine,
but you ought to check:

- that you've not already responded to the target address within some
  period (ie, keep a DB of responses)
- that you're not responding to junk mail
- that you're not responding to a "dear MAILER-DAEMON, ..." reply
- that you _are_ replying to the "Reply-to:" field if present

etc.
