I think this is in the archives. Search at the Cobalt URL below my sig.

Just be careful that your users don't use it for a vacation message after
that or anyone who is signed up for an email list like this one will be mail
bombing the list. It can also be used against you as there's no reason, IMO,
to send an auto-reply to the same address more often than once a week.
Anyone could cause you to mail bomb someone by setting their reply address
to the target and sending mail to your auto-reply every ten minutes.
