Short answer: set an Away/Personal message in Yahoo Messenger. As suggested, the quickest way for is to edit your status/personal message so contacts see you are away or get the text you want. Exact menu names vary by YM version, but the usual flow is click your status/display name (or Tools > Preferences > Status/Messages) and enter a custom away message.

If a true autoresponder is required — a reply that the client actively sends back when someone IMs you — that usually needs a small third‑party tool or an automation script (for example AutoHotkey) that watches for new IM windows and sends a canned response. Recommended precautions: test with a secondary account first, limit replies to once per contact to avoid reply loops, throttle frequency, and only use well‑trusted tools (do not hand your password to unknown programs). Also check Yahoo's terms of service before automating an account.

Important context for readers years later: Yahoo Messenger was officially discontinued in 2018, so these instructions only apply to legacy clients or private servers. For long‑term auto‑reply needs consider modern platforms that offer official bot APIs (Telegram, Slack, Matrix, etc.), which are safer and supported.
