I use the following router and transport to do this:
# Autoresponder router
autoresponse:
driver = accept
domains = example.com
local_parts = dbm;/etc/exim/db/autoresponders.db
retry_use_local_part
transport = autoresponder
unseen
# Autoresponders transport
autoresponder:
driver = autoreply
from = ${lookup{$local_part-from}dbm{/etc/exim/db/autoresponderdata.db}}
reply_to = ${lookup{$local_part-reply}dbm{/etc/exim/db/autoresponderdata.db}}
once = /var/log/exim/autoresponders/$local_part.once
once_repeat = 7d
log = /var/log/exim/autoresponders/$local_part.log
file = ${lookup{$local_part-response}dbm{/etc/exim/db/autoresponderdata.db}}
to = $return_path
subject = ${lookup{$local_part-subject}dbm{/etc/exim/db/autoresponderdata.db}}
Where autoresponderdata.db contains sets of headers like:
###########################################################################
#
# Careers
#
careers-from: My Company Careers <nobody@???>
careers-reply: My Company Careers <careers@???>
careers-subject: AutoReply: My Company Careers
careers-response: /etc/exim/txt/careers.response
###########################################################################
#
# Abuse
#
[snip]
And autoresponders.db contains a list of local_parts that autoresponders
exist on. Because of the unseen in the router the mail will fall through and
go to it's intended destination after the autoresponse fires.
The file referred to in *-response above contains the body of the email I
send in reply for each reply.
