You should check if RT is setting RT-DetectedAutoGenerated which is
what could trigger the autogenerated messages codepath.

RT should also be logging what it found and what it's doing based on
your RedistributeAutoGeneratedMessages settings.  The specifics of how
RT is going to act depends a lot on your versions.

There's actually a lot going on here to prevent RT from looping with
another RT via the autoreplies, although normal correspondence should
work fine.
