This  is the  wrong  approach.  The auto-reply  tool  should  be the  one
identifying  its  messages as  an  auto-reply  that should  be  processed
according to the  list owner's wishes (and depending on  the type of list
that may  not necessarily be  "throw away"). Unfortunately they  don't do
anything like that at the moment.
