Because there were so many problems in the early versions, I made the
autoreply transport just do nothing if it ended up with zero recipients.
The manual says this:
--------------
If the "autoreply" transport receives return code 2 from Exim when it submits
the message, indicating that there were no recipients, it does not treat this
as an error. This means that autoreplies sent to $sender_address when this is
empty (because the incoming message is a delivery failure report) do not cause
problems.
--------------
So yes, it hit the bit-bucket.
