Unfortunately, auto-replies are very good at avoiding anything that could
help software  identify them as  auto-replies. Personally, I  just delete
the  users until  they stop  their auto-reply  program. Until  auto-reply
programs clearly identify themselves (in some form of computerese), there
isn't much else you can do.
