I’m out of office till 22 August. Any RIPE Labs related queries can be sent to labs@ripe.net<mailto:labs@ripe.net> and one of my colleagues will get back to you.

irony - three unsolicited messages on the same subject - appropriate too

This list was lucky. db-wg received 477 copies of this Out of Office message. It actually serves as a great example of what an autoresponder shall *not* be doing: * It only ran when the user returned to the office * It replied to every message, with no waiting period * It replied to mailing lists¹ * It replied *to its own vacation message* distributed by the mailing list, creating a loop And it happened from inside the same organization, so the delivery delay would have been minimal. It must have been a tiny Bedlam3 for RIPE. RFC 3834 recommendations were not pointless musings. Kind regards ¹ The list properly contained a Precedence: list header, so no fault of the mailing list software here. -- INCIBE-CERT - Spanish National CSIRT https://www.incibe-cert.es/ PGP keys: https://www.incibe-cert.es/en/what-is-incibe-cert/pgp-public-keys ==================================================================== INCIBE-CERT is the Spanish National CSIRT designated for citizens, private law entities, other entities not included in the subjective scope of application of the "Ley 40/2015, de 1 de octubre, de Régimen Jurídico del Sector Público", as well as digital service providers, operators of essential services and critical operators under the terms of the "Real Decreto-ley 12/2018, de 7 de septiembre, de seguridad de las redes y sistemas de información" that transposes the Directive (EU) 2016/1148 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 July 2016 concerning measures for a high common level of security of network and information systems across the Union. ==================================================================== In compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation of the EU (Regulation EU 2016/679, of 27 April 2016) we inform you that your personal and corporate data (as well as those included in attached documents); and e-mail address, may be included in our records for the purpose derived from legal, contractual or pre-contractual obligations or in order to respond to your queries.
