That's a job for your procmail filter.  How does SA know what another SA
put into the message? (it's all configurable you know)?  The only thing
you're guaranteed about are the message headers (not including Subject
since it's configurable).  ie: X-Spam-* ...

Personally, I do the following in my procmailrc:

:0fW
* ^X-Spam-Flag: YES
| formail -A "X-Reject: Previous Spamassassin match!"

:0E
{
        INCLUDERC=$HOME/.procmail.d/spamassassin
        INCLUDERC=$HOME/.procmail.d/spam
}

:0
* ^X-Reject
spam-work


So, if a message comes in and it's already marked as spam, I don't
bother running spamassassin again, I just add my X-Reject header and
let the last rule save it into a different folder.  Spammers wouldn't
put a positive header in their mails, so this is safe.

If the incoming message isn't already marked as spam, I know that there's
not going to be any markup in the body and such, so I run SA over it.
A spammer can put in whatever they want in the header, SA will still
run over their message.

Anything else, like trying to look for SA-related phrases and such in
the header/body, just gives spammers an easy way out from being scanned.

In this case, you would probably want to keep a small cache of who you
sent an autoresponse to, and only send one every X days, ala vacation.
