Description
We've been having problems with the admin addresses of our sites being spammed by out-of-office autoresponders, and well-behaved ones respect the Auto-Submitted header.

Thanks for reporting the issue, tomdxw.
I think the overall issue is more WordPress-related than BuddyPress. (Basically all email from WordPress is "auto-generated", not just BuddyPress.)
Adding this header also might cause issues with email delivery. Read this comment in JIRA's bug tracker for an example:
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-15325?focusedCommentId=289662&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-289662
If you need to do this for your own install, you can use WP's wp_mail hook to inject your 'Auto-Submitted' header into all WP emails.

Hi @tomdxw
I believe you had identified a valid issue but agree with @r-a-y that this should be considered upstream in WordPress core. Are you able to make a ticket on https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ please? Thank you.
