The return address from auto-dbm is already something else, not auto-dbm
itself (it's not nobody, it is in fact a human whose "d" key must get
more sore than the fire button in a cheap shoot-em-up game from all
the bounces). (You might've noticed by actually looking at an auto-dbm
reply! :)

However, if you start copying Cc: lines, you're in trouble. Think about
it a little and you'll figure it out.

BTW, I have nothing to do with auto-dbm, but I do build or maintain
email robots occasionally, so I know about the problem sphere.
