I don't mind doing the body scans, as I don't expect voluminous amounts
of traffic.  I am concerned that a response generated by an autoreply
thing set up like mine will not match the *!^FROM_DAEMON, because it is
not a "bounce" in any real sense and a reply from an autoresponder will
strip out my X-Loop headers on a reply...  Is this a real concern?

Well, most folks limit the amount of responses sent to a single address in a  
single day/week/etc.

A bounce should be caught by ! ^FROM_DAEMON unless they use something weird  
like qmail
