Not spam in the strictest sense, but it's still near-totally needless
and it uses up net bandwith for no reason, thus I'd go with Eli on this
one. If I hit such a "prove you're no spammer" autoresponder I can
guarantee I won't. When you plow through lots of email every day the last
thing you need is having to send the same mail several times; quite
frankly, I've yet to meet a person that I need to mail that badly. Usually
it's the opposite - they need my mail more than I need to send it.
