> FIX: auto response email replies should not be accepted

I just found 244,276 emails in the POP inbox which one of my non-hosted forum watches.

but the one I smelled as the best clue for discourse not to reply on is:

> Auto-Submitted: auto-replied

The emails sent log is full of

```plaintext
postmaster@exchange.microsoft.com	email_reject_auto_generated  
discuss@domain.com email_reject_auto_generated

```

How can we prevent the loop?
