Usually, you get only around 20 of these spread out over about five days.

Anyways, I assume that most of these broken autoresponders aren't smart

We need a NetBSD chat to discuss unimportant things like this :)

Thank you security-officer, Havard, Luke, Darren, itojun, Christos, and
others for your recent security work.
