+PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to
+      Electronic Mail") by including:
+
+        Auto-submitted: auto-generated
+
+      in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as
+      warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP mesages, there was
+      also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
+      hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
+      to another message, thes have all been changed to:
+
+        Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
+
+      in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
+
+        The auto-replied keyword:
+
+        -  SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
+           message by an automatic process,
+
+        -  MUST NOT be used on manually-generated messages,
+
+        -  MAY be used on Delivery Status Notifications (DSNs) and Message
+           Disposition Notifications (MDNs),
+
+        -  MUST NOT be used on messages generated by automatic or periodic
+           processes, except for messages which are automatic responses to
+           other messages.
