While I advocate against using Reply-To:, these autoreplies are
not caused by Reply-To:, but by either braindead MTAs / MUAs (like
older versions of the MS Exchange server, which is still widely
used) that don't honor headers like "Precedence: bulk", or by
braindead mailing list software, that doesn't set these headers
when forwarding mails to the list members.


Ciao
