and just how is an algorithm supposed to detect that

It is really too bad that there is not place to put a "precedence"
that the software could key on--with values like "bulk" or "junk" or
"list".
Headers of your message include:
Precedence: list
[snip]
I knew that.
Proper mail clients can provide "list links" based on the List- headers,
but few if any actually do.
So take your pick, but my point remains, it still retains:

And I'm nowhere mentioned. I only appear in the "envelope RCPT TO:<>
RFC821 header", nowhere in the RFC822 header.
It's not rocket science if you have headers available (which even
Outlook can see, although you have to jump through a few hoops to see them).
My point is, and was only that the ID10t's robot-responder needs only
two rules (one of which is sortakinda off topic in a muchmorphed OT
threadlet) are: If the Precedence is "list", "junk", or "bulk" DO
NOTHING, else, if the address to which the proposed babblegram is to be
sent has received a babblegram from us since the controlling file was
created DO NOTHING, else, BABBLEON.
