It's very very very simple.
An autoresponder must always send its response, just like a bounce, with
an empty SMTP reverse-path.
An autoresponder must always send its response _only_ to the address in
the reverse-path of the incoming message which triggers the mail, never
to any other address such as that found in From: or Reply-To: headers.
Obviously if the reverse-path is empty no message is sent.
