There's no policy AFAIK, but I agree that it would be great to have one.
Possibly we could also unsubscribe people who put a vacation message on
their account?
It's always great to reply to someone's post and then get swamped with
"out of office" and "prove you're not a spammer" emails.

So what? Unsubscribe while you're on vacation.
It's obnoxious to send this kind of spam to strangers on mailing lists.
Just don't do it. Please :-)

Or temporarily subscribe, then sign back up on return.
Or -- shock horror -- get a gmail / hotmail / yahoo / etc account and
use that for your mailing lists, rather than your work account. That way
you're not bound by your employer's mail policies, and you don't have to
futz around with unsubscribing & resubscribing, and you don't get on the
nerves of the rest of the people on the list.
Complaining that your employer makes you do this kind of thing is a
pretty thin excuse when webmail accounts are so easy to find...
And as a bonus, in your case, you can be liberated from the tyrrany that
is Lotus Notes :-)

But he said he's using Lotus Notes, so all bets are off.
Yes, it really is that broken.
Or at least, it was last time I had to use it, 2 years or so ago.
If you're stuck with Notes, your best bet for sane filtering is to use a
personal [web-] mail account and a different, non-broken mail client.
