They use notes, which is broken with respect to out of office 
notifications to lists.

IIRC, when the recipient isn't listed in the To: field of the mail 
headers, the MUA/MTA should never send an OOO notification... 
Unfortunately notes doesn't notice (presumably because it's smtp support 
is pretty rudimentary, notes tends to use it's own replication protocol 
& RTF) and so blasts the notification out to everyone...

Personally I wish they'd fix it... The load balancing mailing list gets 
pretty bad at times...
