Having a brief glance at this it is possible that the user is sending a
notification of receipt that contains the ticket ID in subject heading.
Some mail systems send such messages whether or not the sender requested
them, which is not entirely friendly for an automated mail response
system.

This could be interpreted as a genuine follow up message. Have you
looked at the follow up message? (I have had a problem recently with a
site sending such a notification without the ticket ID that set up a
rather irritating mail->response loop). I have also seen this happen
with users out of office and vacation messages. 

One trick would be to use the procmail pre-processor to identify such
messages and send them to a queue that does not auto-respond (if
possible). I have not noticed any settings in OTRS itself to handle this
issue.
