I understand what you are saying in trying to keep a
vicious cycle of auto-replies responding to each other. But in our
environment I don't have any choice as our central virus/spam email
gateway will can any message without a valid from address in the headers.
I will forward this on to our central IT guys that maintain the email
gateway, but I don't hold much hope that they will listen ;) .
My advice? Throw away the gateway and find one that works correctly.
Doing this results in your users NOT getting 99.99% of valid/legitimate
DSN notifications (since they all use the NULL sender, as prescribed by
the RFCs).
Blocking all messages with a NULL sender is not only violating the RFCs,
and will possibly result in your getting on certain blacklists, like
dsn.rfc-ignorant.org, it is lazy and dumb.
But, to each his own...
