As it usually happens, just after I sent the mail a friend suggested me
with an aven better implementation than what I intended to do.
Basically, create a directory /etc/exim/vacation containing files named
like the $local_part and each file would contain the out of office
message itself.
Then use the require_files = /etc/exim/vacation/$local_part in the
transport.
So, the transport now looks like:
user_autoreply:
driver = accept
require_files = /etc/exim/vacation/$local_part
transport = user_autoreply
and the transport:
user_autoreply:
driver = autoreply
to = $sender_address
from = $local_part@$domain
subject = Out of office
file = /etc/exim/vacation/$local_part
And it works perfectly.
