How to prevent or handle automated out-of-office replies in bugs, etc.
In relation to question 47125, we sometimes have projects subscribers activating auto-responders on their mail account, such as out-of-office replies. Some auto-responders properly ignore mailing-list messages (based on the mail headers), but most of them have trouble recognizing bug/merge proposal notifications as mails that should be ignored.
This can lead to a great amount of unwanted spam-like comments on our project resources.
As an example, we currently have this problem on OpenERP projects (openobject-addons, openobject-server, etc.) with this subscriber: https:/
How can we, as project leaders, cope with such situations? (other than of course asking people to avoid setting up auto-responders)
Can we remove the unwanted comments somehow?
Can we temporarily disable the user's subscriptions ourselves (as a way to prevent further spam), or do we need to ask an admin (here or on IRC) to do it for us?
Thanks!
