That shouldn't be necessary -- it's the return-path which is important.
Nothing should *ever* send an autoresponse anywhere but the return-path.

However, it's possible that something in the system you describe is
broken, and is sending an autoresponse or a bounce to the From: address
instead of to the return-path. Find *that* and fix it, rather than
mangling the From: address to be empty.
