terms.
I don't use an auto-responder for communication as it can make
communication quite complicated. It would take some time to figure
out where some binding contract might negatively impact me. I don't
do that at my location. I am open to be convinced why it would be
worthwhile to do that for some other location.
I want to note that using the IETF mailing lists for off-topic
discussions because
you cannot email people individually, is not a good reason for using
our mailing
lists.
Yes.
It seems you are talking about other mail connectivity issues. As
Area Director,
I myself have mostly stopped using the ietf aliases as these are not reliable
enough anymore due to forced bad deployment of various anti-spam technologies,
ironically devised by us at the IETF :P
Yes (to the other mail connectivity issues). One can do much about
Bad Common Practice.
