No, it does not. An auto-reply message, even if it is actually read by the sender, can be ignored without penalty. An MTA rejection puts the ball into the sender's court because the message has never been accepted by the recipient's MX. By the way, a rejection is "legally safe", while your catch-all-and-let-messages-rot approach is not, in case you have not considered that.
Of course, you can do as you please, but that does not change the facts and mechanics involved.
Thank you for your feedback, we will take it into consideration.
