As I am sure others will reply, you are not going to want to do this. Most spam spoofs the FROM line, which means you'll be sending your autoreply to either (1)a non-existent address, causing a bounce back to you, or (2) some poor sap that's been joe-jobbed. Either way, if you do this, there's a good chance you'll be creating more unnecessary spam-related messages and network traffic yourself. :)
Anyone, feel free to correct me if I am wrong or if i misunderstood the question...
Not correcting you as I feel there is an abundance of garbage traffic generated by bouncing mail for the reasons you indicate. However it has been my experience that bounces are a necessary evil when implementing spam filtering . From time to time legitimate mail will be caught in the process and a bounce is the only way the sender will be aware of a problem in a timely fassion. Unfortunately there are folks out there relying on email for mission critical communication and I do not see that changing any time in the near future.
