Let Jenkins job notification email through

intrigeri requested to merge tails/schleuder:let_Jenkins_messages_through into release-4.0

The automated message detection heuristic already let messages sent by cron through. This makes sense, as there are valid use cases for sending email from cronjobs to a Schleuder list. Similarly, there are valid use cases for sending Jenkins job notifications to a Schleuder list. But so far we rejected these messages: they include a Auto-Submitted header whose value is not "no".

To fix this problem, let's allow auto-submitted email when a X-Jenkins-Job header is present.

For reference, as of current Jenkins LTS (2.176.3) running on Debian Stretch with Java 8, messages generated by the Jenkins Mailer¹ plugin include characteristic headers; for example:

    X-Jenkins-Job: test_Tails_ISO_stable
    X-Jenkins-Result: FAILURE
    Auto-submitted: auto-generated
