Error. The autoresponse should have MAIL FROM:<> and thus should never
be able to trigger a bounce. If your autoresponse don't have an empty
sender, they are a DoS attack waiting to happen. As you seem to be
finding out.

This is an even more egregious error. Your bounces absolutely *MUST* be
sent with the empty sender, and must never trigger more bounces in
return.
