finding one, I assume that the best approach is to unsubscribe for the

No. You can set nomail via the list server's web interface.
2. Are there any Entourage experts out there who can tell me how to
set up
an out-of-office autoreply message that is sent the first time someone
sends
message to me, a la Outlook? (This is really a separate subject in a
sense,
although the lack of such a feature compounded the error dramatically,
as
you all know.)
One way you should be able to do it is to set up a mail action or
filter (or whatever it's called in Entourage) to send it only to those
who are not in an address group called "Vacation" (or whatever you
decide to call the group), and when it sends the vacation mail, to add
the addressee to the group. Place this mail action so that it is
evaluated after all the mail actions that filter mailing list messages
into their folders; if those actions are configured properly, they will
stop further evaluations, so the message won't ever reach the vacation
mail filter.
Of course, after you return from vacation, you turn off the mail action
and empty it of the addresses in it.
That is how I did it with Claris Emailer, and how I would do it with
mail.app if they ever put in an action to add an addressee to a group
(which would entail adding it to the address book too, which can't be
done either).
