I really like the reply-to being hobbit at hswn.dk though I can't say I am on too many mailing lists, neither of which are very sizable.

Everyone else ... either unsubscribe from the mailing list while you're on holiday, or configure your out-of-office daemon to NOT reply to mails sent to the mailing list. This was a particularly bad example of not doing so, but there are a handful every year where people send out-of-office mails to the list.
Of course, this is partially self-inflicted by this mailing list using a Reply-To targeting the list address, which creates the ricochet effect without the offender having been clueless enough to set the OOO for "Reply All"....
On most of the large lists I subscribe to, I'll get an out of office or two with every other post. But because they're only going to the From: address, the impact is limited to the poster rather than spraying the entire list. Just pointing that out; whether or not to configure a list this way is a religious argument....
To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk
