You can use the transport-driver autoreply, chapter 16 in the manual.
This is how I have configured a PP-inspired vacationnote, there is(was?)
such a feature in PP. The user makes a file "tripnote" in his/her
homedirectory, the message is passed to the sender once with a short
leading text.

to = $sender_address,

This is an automatic reply. Feel free to send additional\n\
