Should Auto Responders work via PHP too?

Quick question.

PHP mail().
Say if you send a mail() to an auto responder address, with some email as the From address, should it respond to them? A client is trying to do this but its a no go.

In my experience it does not work. I do not know what the reason is.

I gave them a workaround, use another mail() call to send a "Thank you for contacting me" etc to the form submitter - that's the only way I could think of off the top of my head.

Most likely has something to do with the exim.conf routers. It's not an issue for me so I'm not working on it right now. If someone else cares to work on it, please let me know if you come up with a solution.
