When i setup an Autoresponder for a primary/system mailbox of the DA account (which usually receive Delivery failure kind of e-mails) can it cause that all these e-mails will be replied and destination server will again reply these replies that delivery failed which would cause filling the inbox?

Btw. how do You deal with growing system account e-mails? I do not read it. Any way to auto delete items older than X days or such?
I would prefer not to receive Delivery failure e-mails in my case.
 
To answer your first question, yes there are certain cases in which this can happen.
That's the reason for when you have an autoresponder active, it's better not to ignore delivery failed messages, because up and down bouncing could also get your server on to blacklists.

As for skiping delivery failures about bounce messages, maybe this can help you.

I check and delete them. We don't use auto responders so we don't have big issues with it.
