Hallo ~John,

Yep. Create a filter for his messages with the action "Send Auto
reply", you can find that if you scroll down at the actions tab in the
sorting office.

You can click on the template button next to the option to create a
'bounce message' to your liking.

Depending on the knowledge of your unwanted correspondent, it might be
a nice touch to put his own address in the reply-to header of your
bounces, so any complaints he intends to send to the bouncing address
are being sent to his own address.

To prevent repercussions from your ISP, you could use
Postmaster <youraddress@yourISP>
as sender info. Most clients will show that as: Postmaster
Especially combined with the reply-to option, this will discourage
most non-techies from continuing their correspondence. The more
knowledgeable will see through this, but they'll notice a fake bounce
anyhow.

Note that this won't do you any good against spam. That works through
other mechanisms that don't react to responses.
