Automated responses to the queries is a Very Bad Thing (tm). All it will
do is clog up the Internet further, filling sysadmin mailboxes.

To put it in to perspective, consider that a server I am on is hit by Code
Red 15-20,000 times a day for the past month. That's a hell of a lot of
e-mail going out just to remind people that they should keep up on
security. You're probably better off just ignoring them.
