I have learned the hard way that you can put all the Auto-Submitted and Priority: bulk headers you want, but the only way to reliably break mail loops is to rate limit the mail your autoresponder sends to each address. I have as low an opinion of no-reply@ addresses as anyone else, but I wouldn't use them as a reliable signal. _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
