Most major mailing list managers set them by default (including  
mailman on the nagios users list).  They are not, that I'm aware,   
defined as a standard and are even discouraged by RFC2076, but a the  
end of the day it is used in a lot of places.

The venerable vacation program (part of sendmail) was my first  
exposure to them, many years ago.  A google shows that many other  
programs now use them.

The original question was how to make an autoresponder behave nicely  
for lists.  The two suggestions (don't reply to non-personally  
addressed e-mail or email with a [bulk|junk|list] precedence) will  
both work, though neither will be completely effective on it's own.
