The problem is in the "reply-to" they use a masked email address. Then everytime someone emails the masked email address that craigslist provides the email autoresponse doesn't happen.
Easy way to solve this is in the "reply-to" field simply use the email address directly.
So in the reply to field you'd see "bobisatool@gmail.com" instead of the craigslist generated one.
In my experience in the last week it has worked on every single ad I've put out.

I've been getting a lot of questions on this post for some reason. THought it was detailed enough but here is a little more detailed version. I posted it in my profile as well.
Using the gmail autoresponder in craigslist doesn't work unless you use your own email (the auto response one) in the "Reply to" field.
1.) Set up ur autoresponse through gmail
2.) Go to craigslist and start the posting process
3.) Type in the email address with the autoresponse in the "Reply-to Email address for applicants" section. Then do it again the next box.
4.) Then right under the second email box there will be an option that says "use this email address as my reply-to" you want to click that one! Don't click the "reply to: job-xxxxxxxx at craigslist.org it won't work with the autoresponse.
5.) Post ad....
That works for me 100% of the time.
