"Auto-Submitted: auto-generated" is defined in RFC 3834 section 5.
3834 orders autoresponders to be careful about incoming
auto-submitted messages. If similar language is added to the
relevant sieve documents, the result should be fine. At least in
theory.
Did I just say "a header-based solution won't work unless widely
accepted"? I completely forgot about "Auto-Submitted:", thanks for
the reminder!
Ah, uhm, widely accepted, ah, uhm... but I rather think Auto-Submitted
is the right answer. Some people will of course not check/generate
Auto-Submitted, but IMNSHO nothing a Sieve RFC says can make a
diferrence to them. (My unfavourite autoresponder is in a package that
also says "Date: 31 Nov ..." - until the software starts to obey
822/2822 I don't even dare to hope it'll obey 3834 or Sieve RFCs.)
