With reference to these and others, I did once started writing a page for
the Wiki which showed some of the tests you might use if you were
implementing an autoresponder router, but was never satisfied with it
enough to publish. However, briefly, here is the interesting part of it:
condition = "${if or {{ match {$h_precedence:} {(?i)junk|bulk|list} } \
{ eq {$sender_address} {} } \
{ def:header_X-Cron-Env: } \
{ def:header_Auto-Submitted: } \
{ def:header_List-Help: } \
{ def:header_List-Unsubscribe: } \
{ def:header_List-Subscribe: } \
{ def:header_List-Owner: } \
{ def:header_List-Archive: } \
{ def:header_Autorespond: } \
{ def:header_X-eBay-MailTracker: } \
{ match {$h_X-FC-MachineGenerated:} {true} } \
{ match {$message_body} {\\N^Your \"cron\" job on\\N} } \
{ match {$h_Subject:} {\\N^Out of Office\\N} } \
{ match {$h_Subject:} {\\N^Auto-Reply:\\N} } \
} {no} {yes} \
}"
senders = !+noautoreply_senders
and here are some suggested contents of +noautoreply_senders:
