The three functions - CheckForLoops, CheckForSuspiciousSender and
CheckForAutoGenerated in Interface/Email.pm perform these checks
in RT 2.0.15. From what I figure from the code, they check for
X-RT-Loop-Prevention, postmaster/mailer-daemon address, and Precedence:
bulk/junk respectively in the headers.

Your bounces trigger loop checks.

Personally, RT behind spamassassin is all the check I have needed so far -
with MICROSOFT_EXECUTABLE bumped up.
