That is just one of many criteria a non-brain-dead auto-responder uses
to decide when it will or will not reply to an email...

The presence of any one of a dozen or so headers (list-*,
precedence-bulk, etc) should not trigger a reply. Also, it should only
reply once to the same sender within a given time period (RFC suggests 7
days, but our boss insists on 24 hours.
