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.
