Auto responder should look for Return-Path or envelope sender, not
Reply-To or From. Imagine if someone in a mailing list that has a
Reply-To set up to the mailing list uses an autoresponder.
Make sure the autoresponder does not send autoresponses to bounces or
postmaster, mailer-daemon and such. I think yahoo's autoresponder does
this, I notified them but I don't think they get it, or even care.
Bounces has null return path <>, so it shouldn't be a problem if
autoresponders follow Return-Path to send emails in the first place.
