It is well known (for more than 15 years!) that, when implementing
"vacation"-style auto-responders, you MUST keep track of recipients, and you
MUST send the auto-response only once per recipient per auto-reply.
Sometimes a "per large time period" is also added.

If the auto-reply for Lotus notes does so for *every* message, without
tracking recipients, it deserves being called a menace.
