Sigh. I've been repeating over and over again that using the auto-reply
functionality is unwise exactly for the reason you mention here.
If you want this functionality, at present you are wise to use an external
script like the one I posted somewhere in june last year.

Please note that the howto still refers to pre-2.0 user-management using
dbmail-adduser instead of dbmail-users.

Hi there
Just want to tell a sad story. I just went away for a few days and turn
the auto answer on, so that the dbmail return any mail for me to the
sender, telling that a will be back at the office at….
The sad think here was, that I every night get at mail from the root
user/to the root user and that’s the same email account.
So it send me the log, and replay with to AW to it self and so on.
So now I got 150.000 new email for just 2 days ;-(
Is it just me, that have thought off this before turning the auto answer
on or is it a bug?
