Preventing mail loops and autoresponding.

Dear promail users,

I can prevent certain mail loop with like : >X-Loop:  
$LOGNAME(_at_)FQDN>
This is working Ok/ if I recurse the ,procmailrc or a mailserver 
bounces back the e-mail. This is tested and working ok.

But what if a mail client or a mail server is generating a entirely 
new mail message in respond to a 'vacation' message I have send 
hem?
I think Pegasus is doing this and M$ exange server (I think, I'm not 
sure) I didn't tryd it out yet because I'm still at a testing stage but I 
do get bounced mail over and over again if I turn the mail received 
option on. I now I can store someones e-mail address but I do need 
to send this message everytime that person sends me a message.

How can I detect situation and stop autoreplying in procmail?
