You don't... Pine is a "Mail User Agent" (MUA): a program for reading mail
_aftter_ it has been delivered to you.

Instead you are wanting to persuade the Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) which
does the actualt _delivery_ to send back an automatic reply.  If you are
using a (reasonably standard) UNIX system this is usually done using a
".forward" file and a program called "vacation".  Try reading the manual
page for vacation for further help: man vacation.

Altyernatively ask someone at your local Help Desk.

Cheers,
