You'd need to have Exim accept the message rather than deny it, and perhaps
have a router which catches the relevant senders list ahead of your standard
local delivery router, and which calls an autoreply transport.

I don't know enough about the Debian setup to tell you exactly how to write
these or where to put them, unfortunately.
