Is there an option to for example auto-reply on every mail that is sendto @domain.com?
The part of this question that was overlooked is "on every mail". It would be nice if '0' days meant respond to every message.
Alternatively, can I create an empty address database file that is non-writable (or maybe a link to /dev/zero)?
Yes, I'd also be interested in that. I tried a few things when I needed to set up an auto reply that responds more than once a day, but couldn't get it to work. I didn't know any other way than having an 'rm /home/user/.dovecot.lda-dupes' as a cron job run every minute (if there had come two mails within one minute it wouldn't have been a problem if only the first had been answered).
Someone will probably ask why an auto reply to the same person more than once a day might be necessary. This is why I needed it: A project manager was leaving the company, and the contacts writing him had to be informed that they should write to another address, and that the address they sent their mail to would soon cease to exist. When I set 'days' to 1, there was an outcry by other project managers that the contacts would probably not read the auto reply on the first time, or forget about it immediately, and then send more mails during the day. I had a lengthy discussion involving me questioning those contacts' intellect, but in the end I had to give in to a strong opposition against "only one auto reply per day".
