The primary source of bounces with the header
 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated (failure)
seems to be versions Sendmail (the feature predating RFC3834), but these are
always preceded by the far more reliable RFC3464 bounce indicator:
  Content-Type: multipart/report; report-type=delivery-status; [...]

I've yet to personally receive a spam mail containing an Auto-Submitted header
(and given it flags mail as not-sent-by-a-human, it wouldn't be a bad thing it
it did) but I receive a lot of non-bounce ham (mainly automated reports) - and
as such I use a personal rule to keep them out of the spam folder.

header   LM_ROBOT_SENDER  Auto-Submitted =~ /auto-generated/ [if-unset: no]
describe LM_ROBOT_SENDER  Message flagged as not manually generated
score    LM_ROBOT_SENDER  -4

I also actively encourage senders of auto-generated mail to add Auto-Submitted:
or List-Id: headers as appropriate.
