Chop it off. They will soon learn. :-)

It should be possible to do this with an "unseen" smartuser director,
and an autoreply transport, along the lines of the following (cribbed
from David Sheryn's example of the same sort of thing):
warning_t:
driver = autoreply
file = /usr/local/mail/warning.txt
file_expand
from = postmaster@???
to = $sender_address
user = exim
subject = "Re: Your mail to ${local_part}@${domain}"
auto_warning_d:
driver = smartuser
domains = cran.ac.uk
condition = ${if eq{$sender_address}{}{no}{yes}}
transport = warning_t
no_verify
unseen
... but David was having some problems with this which I'm not sure got
fully resolved. (An alternative to skipping when $sender_address is null
would be to send to postmaster@???.)

add log = /some/file to the transport, making sure the user can write
to it. That will log to whom the messages are sent. It won't, however,
log the original recipients of the messages.
