There's no fail safe way as all these monstrosities look different. I 
have the following in an include.send.header scenario. Fairly obviously, 
it works best with English language lists :)

match ([header->precedence], /list|bulk/)      smtp,smime,md5    -> 
reject,quiet
match ([header->subject], /auto( |-)+respon(se|der)/)                            
       smtp,smime,md5   -> editorkey,quiet
match ([header->subject], /out of (the )+office/)                                
       smtp,smime,md5   -> editorkey,quiet
match ([header->subject], /auto( |-)+reply/)                                    
smtp,smime,md5   -> editorkey,quiet
match ([header->subject], /(vacation|holiday)/)                                 
smtp,smime,md5   -> editorkey,quiet

I also redirect anything with a null MAIL FROM envelope to the 
listowner, but this, for historical reasons, is done outside of Sympa. I 
should probably move it in to Sympa - is there a way of matching on the 
SMTP envelope in Sympa?
