On UNIX systems that's typically handled by the vacation(1) program.

I think you can get a similar result with some mail filtering
programs, like deliver or procmail.

If the machine is UNIX-based, chance is that he uses a program called
'vacation'. Try 'man vacation' on your system for the usage.

If you are on a unix platform, try using the unix vacation command.  It 
does exactly what you described.
