This is a good way to get a visit from the mailer daemon.

Sorry about your family
Your the scape goat sorry
Hey can’t you read? It says DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL
Fun fact: when you reply to a noreply email address, your email is rerouted to the No Reply Email Center (NREC) in New York, where it’s printed out and shredded to make confetti. Every year, Macy’s buys the vast majority of this confetti to use in their Thanksgiving parade. If everyone stopped doing that, they’d run out of confetti.
I’m so glad all those emails don’t go to waste
True story: I responded (unpleasantly and verbosely) to one of those automated no-reply messages from Reddit, regarding a 3-day suspension for violating some rule (aka, pissing off a mod)… and I did get a reply. Account banned.
The email center controls the tubes that connect the webnet.
You can’t fool me. I’ve seen the IT Crowd. The internet is connected by Wifi and has a red light!
I’m old enough to have experienced an Exchange server being brought to it’s knees due to two out of office replies fighting back and forth with each other.
I suppose that’s why out of office only replies to each sender once now. I recall that exchange used to send ooo replies every time, and that must have been in '99 or the early 2000s. I wonder if there was some other fix for the problem, I never saw evidence of that problem even then
This was the early to mid 2000s. I honestly don’t remember the specifics. But I do remember the emails coming from somewhere in Eastern Europe, so it may have been some crap system on their end that treated each reply as a unique conversation. Which could be why our Exchange server kept replying.

This sign won’t stop me because I can’t read!
That would be fun but unfortunately, the only thing that’s likely to happen is that your email will be ignored and/or automatically deleted.
It never gets read, but your account gets a “does not follow instructions” counter added to it.
The staff then laugh about you on their smoke break.
Or just bounce if it does not have a IMAP server
