Re: dealing with anti-spam bounces?

If their autoreply system is sufficiently deficient in setup, one might
be able to trick it into autoreplying to itself.  There are several ways
to do this, of course, depending on the level of sophistication of
the autoreply daemon.  Suffice it to say that properly setup procmail
autoreply setups cannot be fooled.

I'd rather hear more clearly ;-)

I've got 'X-Loop: luomat(_at_)peak(_dot_)org' inserted into my
autoresponder-sent-outgoing messages, and 

* ! ^X-Loop: luomat(_at_)peak(_dot_)org

Is that enough to prevent me from being fooled by someone who wants to?
