Apparently the people at Hearts of Space do something like this:
% telnet hos.com smtp
Trying...
Connected to hos.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220-hos.com Sendmail 8.6.5/8.6.5 ready at Wed, 1 Mar 1995 09:01:52 -0800
220 ESMTP spoken here
expn info
250 <"|/usr/lhc/majordomo/wrapper auto-answer -c info-owner Info /usr/ftp/hos/info.hos"@hos.com>

I don't know what they use for "auto-answer", though.  You might try sending
mail to info@hos.com and see what comes back and if that's the kind of
thing you want.

The O'Reilly MIIS book discusses a canned_reply script, too.
