Hi Oscar,
To be honest: I dont know about the why.
In trunk mailhandling is on its way to be completely different, if for IMAP.
in trunk the is_automail feature was introduced with:
Revision 29642 - (view) (download) (annotate) - [select for diffs]
Modified Fri Mar 26 13:49:18 2010 UTC (3 years, 4 months ago) by tt_oscar

Diff to previous 29639
Implement a check to handle automails (bounces, autoreplies)
It seems it was not backported back then. At least not what I can see it.
1.8 was not done from trunk, but from epl.9.2; and since some of the tracker_mailhandling stuff was not backported from trunk to epl-9.2 back then, and no one missed it, it has gone missing.
best regards
Klaus
