Sadly no. I am delivering to a Dovecot IMAPd.
If you're delivering to an IMAP server, then the simplest option is to
add a webmail interface to it which supports auto-reply. Even if your
end users normally get their mail via a local IMAP client, they can use
the webmail facility to set up an "out of office" response and it will
run even with their local machine switched off. And, you get the benefit
of a webmail interface in case your users ever want it! No changes are
needed to either Postfix or Dovecot, the webmail system is an additional
layer that runs on top of your existing configuration.
There are several webmail systems that include auto-reply either as a
basic feature or an optional extra. Squirrelmail is one that I'm aware
of, but a bit of Googling should find plenty of others.
