I'm not familiar with what these RFCs are (maybe someone could paste them in),
but we use mailbot, especially because it does have that logic not to reply to
the same address more than once every X hours/days/whatever. As far as
autoresponding, why are there two tools? Why would someone use reformail as
opposed to mailbot? Why do they have different featuresets? Is it possible to
see the features merged to have the best of both worlds? Until that time, which
is the more "correct" way to do it?

The vacation example from the maildrop manpages uses:
xfilter "/usr/bin/reformail -r -t"
Does xfilter already honour the recommendation in RFC 3834, especially these:
xfilter does not honor anything. xfilter merely filters a message through
an arbitrary external filter. Neither does reformail.
3.1.7. Auto-Submitted field
No. reformail always creates an autoreply. It's mailbot that has the logic
to suppress autoreplies. Mailbot does not carry the auto-submitted: header
logic, but it's reasonable enough to add it.
3.1.6. In-Reply-To and References fields
reformail generates both headers. mailbot does not generate these headers.
