Sadly, only the list administrator can stop the email. In the meantime, just create a rule in your mail client/software to black hole all email from Steve (sorry Steve, but you brought this on yourself).
On the "bright" side, eventually Steve's mailbox should fill up and he'll stop receiving email, and so stop sending them every 10 minutes. Somebody could always try contacting Gail Barnett and ask them to step on Steve's email if the list administrator doesn't get to it.

... so the list admin is hopefully also on this list, will see this sh|+ that "Steve" is creating, and will cancel his subscription. "Steve" needs to learn how to use his email software properly before he subjects the world to more junk mail than all the spammers combined! ;)
However, in the meantime, does anyone feel like calling the office and seeing if the receptionist is really on the ball or not? ;)

Steve has been unsubscribed now, and I'll block all mail from him for the next 48 hours. That should put an end to his ooo-mails.
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....
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.

I concur, hitting reply shouldn't send the response to the person, it should go to the list.
Scott just needs to fix his ooo responder.
