You can use the error: transport to send a custom reject message for

[email protected] Thanks for all the fish.
(the above is basically what the "relocated" feature does, it just
responds "user has moved to {your text here}" where your text can be
just about anything, not necessarily an email address)
But a common problem is that end-users often don't read the delivery
error messages -- and some mail systems hide the message from the user.
Generally best to avoid autoresponders when possible, since they
also respond to spam with a forged sender address.
That said, if not much spam makes it to your mailbox you can look at
the "vacation" program included with many systems.
I should have indicated in my original post that my LDA is Dovecot.
Doesn't matter, you can still use the transport method Noel described,
and as he said, it is much better than using any kind of 'vacation'
responder (including dovecot's sieve vacation module)...
