Even removing mailing lists auto responders does not work :)

This may also be why many automated messages come from address that are not
read.

Auto response message get spam listed by quite a few people meaning any
future messages that are real are put in the spam folder too.

Secondly if someone sends you an item of spam every week and gets a vacation
notice they know that your on holiday and can go and rob your house. Hmm
thats an interesting side effect (Where you live is easily available as the
government have made the data widely available) :)
