If auto-replies will NOT be sent to users in the Internet domain
configured in step 3

AND

the list gives the original sender

Then I would need to make a list of all domains of all list members, as
the email will appear to be sent from that user, not from a list.

for MailScanner this is easy as the only 'user' who sends is
mailscanner-bounces at lists.mailscanner.info

spamassassin list on the other hand, shows the original email address as
the 'user' in this context. The auto-reply will happily (and stupidly)
send replies to all these individuals, even whilst not sending to the
list.
