TMDA is terrible.  A procmail recipe can easily autorespond, and then if
a spammer spoofs mail from an email address where someone's implemented
such a thing, the spam gets through and may even be whitelisted,
bypassing ordinary spam checking.  The spammer could even set such a
system up and use its address for all from: addresses.

Terrible.
