Did ! ^FROM_MAILER not catch this?
I am not sure whether FROM_MAILER
I don't think ^FROM_MAILER would have caught it, but ^FROM_DAEMON
would have caught either the "Precedence: bulk" or the "owner-xxx".
Another thing you might try is having sendmail send back an error
status rather than actually mailing a response. Or, you could use
a mechanism similar to that used by vacation programs: only send
one reply per day or somesuch. The first option, generating an
SMTP bounce, is probably your best choice (I've never seen a
mailing list remail sendmail bounces...though I'm sure someone
out there could manage it. ;-)
