Disabling auto_help

Hello,

The "-request" addresses for my lists get spammed daily which wouldn't
be too much of a problem except that the list server helpfully sends
back the 'help.txt' file to the 'From' address in the spam. Since
almost all of these addresses are fake, all such emails result in a
'Unknown user' error message. 

I was to update the configuration so that the help.txt file is not sent
back unless it is a real help request. It is currently sent even for
messages with obvious spam subjects.

I have set 
auto_help = no
in my rc.custom file but this doesn't seem to have any affect.

Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks,
Harshal
