I don't think marking a message as automatically generated is a hack.

You don't always have a session. E.g. if you send a message to 
"amessage.de" you get an auto reply that it has been forwarded to the 
admin (me) ... how should amessage.de (the session manager of it) 
determine if it is a new session or not ... you don't have a session 
with amessage.de.
