There's a number of really good heuristics, none of which his autoresponder actually did: 1) Check Return-Path: and Sender: for the patterns owner-*@, *-request@, and *-bounces@ 2) Check for a List-ID: header 3) Check if an address of yours is listed in the To: or cc: fields. 4) For bonus credit, don't send a note if you've sent a note to the same address since the autoresponder was turned on (helps prevent loops).
