Well, I will take credit for the parsing code, but the language design
has been a cooperative effort over on the tmda-devel list.  It
wouldn't be near as nice as it is without the insight and suggestions
of various people over the last year+.

I'm uncomfortable with a configuration option, because it's just too
"global".  Two other possibilities are an option to the 'bounce'
action:

from [EMAIL PROTECTED] bounce=no_really

or a brand new action:

from [EMAIL PROTECTED] dude_youre_gettin_a_bounce

Of course, we'd use something a little more meaninful but I'm too
tired to ponder serious options.  Anyhow, you get the picture.

Either of these would allow you to override the default auto-response
handling without turning it off completely.  The explicitness is good,
IMHO, because it reminds you each time you do it that you may be
annoying a list admin.
