You will alway shave to have a program running that does the answering part. Answering to an Inquiry Message is usually done by sending a reply message to the correct message queue and message key.
There are a lot of scenarios possible with messages, it just depends what your business case is how to proceed.

You can set a default reply by using SNDUSRMSG command. But, not Auto Reply.
The message was intended for Notifying the user, and He should be able to give reply for that message.

Will you give the scenario for which you are expecting auto-reply.

More information is needed, especially what OS version/release are you coding for? At i 6.1 and later, you might want to create and register an Inquiry Handling Exit Program. At earlier releases (or current ones), you might want to code your own message monitor programming. Please describe some specific circumstances. Tom

Can you give us an idea of what you are trying to accomplish?

You may be able to do what you want by using the SNDMSG command.
You can send messages to a specific message queue and then have a program running that is doing RCVF for that queue. There is no overhead as it waits for a message. Then when one is received, it can read it a and your program can have logic to determine what type of automated action to take.
