Depends on what script(s) you are using as the auto-responder, as Postfix does not have a built in auto response transport.

Hello,
I set the automatic response from the mailbox, not so tell you which script I use, but I imagine there is a global parameter at the server level that sets the response times
 
I set the automatic response from the mailbox

Then it is probably not being handled by Postfix, as Postfix is a MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) handling SMTP only for the domain name(s) (the part after the '@'), it does not actually handle 'local' (the part before the '@') delivery of messages. That, is handed off to a Mail Delivery Agent (MDA) also known as Local Delivery Agent (LDA) such as Courier or Dovecot. So whatever your server uses to provide mailbox management (maybe Horde, RoundCube, Squirrel, etc.) is probably what will be handling the vacation transport and is where the configuration needs to be done.
