Doesn't matter, it's still a bug that increases the administrative
burden of running a mailing list.

It isn't a bug. It is a feature. (It makes it simple to confirm subscription.) And mailman has a similar feature, and broken autoresponders can also successfully complete its subscription process. Though they have to include the message being replied to as well as responding to the incorrect address.)

Auto responders that respond to mail header addresses are broken and will cause problems in other cases. (They should only be responding to the envelope sender address and if the envelope sender address is empty, they shouldn't be responding at all.)
