Description
After discussing with the sysadmins, I learned that there are special headers we can add to mails, to help avoiding them to be seen as spam.
[10:54] <boklm> Auto-Submitted: auto-generated [10:54] <boklm> Precedence: bulk
misc also suggests to check what mailman and sympa add to the headers of their mails. We can check what phpbb does too.

Just a quick note, for myself mostly.
To add this header I will use SwiftMailer header mechanism, like this:
$headers = $message->getHeaders();
$headers->addTextHeader('Auto-Submitted', 'auto-generated');
Other usefull values of Auto-Submitted header can be no, auto-replied and auto-notified, witch, according to RFC5436, is indicates that a message was generated by a Sieve notification system.

This particular issue is closed, however I'm opening a new one for best e-mail sending practices so that we lessen the risks to be seen as spammers.
