Can't his program look underneath the hood when trying to determine
whether the message is an auto-response/bounce or not?  TMDA for
example includes the header:

Auto-Submitted: auto-replied

Which marks it as an auto-generated message.  Some MTAs like Sendmail
also include this header in their bounces.

I emailed the guys at nortel about this previously - and am still waiting for a response, if I get one. I would think that they'd pick up on the whole c/r system in general - but he refers to TMDAs challenge as a "rejection" notice.


More educating to do, it seems.
