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.
