It makes a lot of sense for an MUA, like mutt, Gnus or KMail.  Most
good auto-responders, on the other hand, like TMDA or vacation, send
responses to the envelope sender.  One of the reasons is to prevent
mail loops when attempting to reply to a bounce.  A bounce message
will have valid From and Reply-to fields but will have an empty
envelope sender, thus stopping the loop.

A second reason is that, in the case of spam, the great majority of
the messages have completely bogus From or Reply-To fields.  The
envelope sender is generally the most accurate.

If you speak Python, look at bin/tmda-rfilter, the send_bounce()
function.  An AutoResponse object is created, passing the
envelope_sender as the destination.  You would need to change that.
