I think of a virtusertable:

postmaster@example.com You
abuse@example.com You
@example.com ALocalRoleUser

And the LocalRoleUser will simply have a |/usr/bin/vacation alias
and vacation setup in their home directory.

This will send back a response.

if you want a response for EVERY message that a user sends rahter than
one message per sender per $Period? then make the .db file readonly and
owned by root (vacation can't write to it).

Want fancier? There are a billion autoresponder scripts out there in
perl, C, procmail (man procmailex) etc.
