No, its a special director and autoreply transport:

---------------
d_ar:
  driver                = smartuser
  transport             = t_ar
  require_files         = /etc/exim/ar_body/$local_part@$domain
  unseen                = true


t_ar:
  driver                = autoreply
  to                    = ${sender_address}
  subject               = "${lookup {${local_part}@${domain}:subject} dbm \
                                {/etc/exim/autoresp.db} {$value} {Re: Ihre Mail}
 }"
  from                  = "${lookup {${local_part}@${domain}:from} dbm \
                                {/etc/exim/autoresp.db} {$value} \
                                {<${local_part}@${domain}>} }"
  file                  = /etc/exim/ar_body/${local_part}@${domain}
  log                   = /var/log/exim/arlog
  group                 = exim
  user                  = exim
