You don't need to specify the reply address. Mailbot automatically
gets it from the original message.

>From the man page:

By default mailbot takes the autoresponse address from the From:
(or the Reply-To:) header in the original message.

If you want to use SENDER, I think it is imported automatically. If
not, you can get it with "import SENDER".

I don't know why it's not working for you. It works fine for me.

The man page shows it being used as a CC. I'm not sure where I got my
script. I set it up as a TO on a test account and it works fine that
way too.

Send a message to testreply@buc.com.

The .mailfilter for this account looks like this:

import RECIPIENT
to "| /usr/lib/courier/bin/mailbot -A \"From: $RECIPIENT\" -m
\"./autoreply\" /usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail -f \"$RECIPIENT\""

Actually, the "import RECIPIENT" part is in /etc/courier/maildroprc,
but it shouldn't matter.

I'll leave this account around for a day or two unless it starts
getting hammered.
