ID10T out of office responders

My experience shows that when things go wrong there is usually an amplified
feedback loop between your mail server and the remote, so ensure that any
header you set is one that you drop too.

This is also why the mighty no-reply@ was thought up, which simply drops
all mail. It might be crude, but it's effective.
