The slug lists do this already, for spamassassin.  People have been free to
use it since the dawn of time (well, for the spamassassin epoch dawn, that

I agree with a lot of the sentiments (at the beginning of the thread, that
is) because requiring ordinary emailers to go through hoops to send you mail

I make it a habit to mark any automatic response mails as spam, and
bogofilter enjoys keeping them away from me, and thus I don't have to deal
with someone's lame filter.
