can anyone point me to some docs that give solid examples of out of office replies and filtering using maildrop.

Ironically, your mail got caught in *my* maildrop OOTO filter net. Still, I retrieved it. Here's the relevant section from my setup:

# --[ CATCH VACATION NOTICES if ( /^Subject:.*(autoreply|out of (the)?[\t ]*office|ist au..?er
haus|abwesenheitsnotiz|har semester|est absent)/ ) { to $SPAM }

It's no fun having to tweak (and re-tweak) my settings every time some nut forgets to turn their notice off for mailinglists, but this is the best solution I've come up with. I wonder, though, if a bayesian filter could learn something as specific as vacation notices...

"Well," he answered cautiously, "you might try directing messages with (be careful, this is PCRE, now):"

if ( /^Precedence:\s+bulk/ ) { to "Maildir" }

and then catching the rest. I use this for vacation messages (and a whole lot more) and was going to post my whole routine, but then it got to beer time, so I didn't ...
