The "precedence bulk" line was removed in 2006.1 and replaced by x-imail: list due to multiple customer requests. It was reported that AOL blocks messages as spam that contain this header and AOL subscribers can't receive list messages. The x-imail: list is used internally by the queue manager to keep IMail from responding to lists for infobot or vacation messages (and it will still react to the precedence bulk header as well). Email clients that send these types of messages normally keep track of what addresses the automated response is delivered too so it will not be sent repeatedly.

This is from the headers of a notice I received directly (since I have an Outlook rule forwarding all her stupid notices.) X-Mailer: <SMTP32 v9.03> Precedence: bulk To me, this indicates 2 things: She has it set up as an auto responder and it is looping since she then gets the notice via the list and the latest version of the list server is striping the "Precedence: bulk" line and inserting "X-Imail: List" in its place.
