First, an autoresponder should never respond to Mails with
"Precedence: bulk" or "Precedence: list". E-Mails of this
kind I get every day...

If you send Autoresponder, use for "From: " the same E-Mail
as for "To: " ;-)

This Message will never come Back to you !

... and on the Receiver-Side it depends on the Autoresponder-
Config ;-)

YES, -I have seen Windows-MUA's which have tilled them Self.
It was around one week to fill up a 160 GByte Harddisk.
