You can do what you are asking with procmail. Follow this link for explination on how to set it up...
Here's a copy of my \etc\procmailrc file:
LOGFILE=/var/log/pm.log
LOG="
"
VERBOSE=yes
# Remove ## when debugging; set to no if you want minimal logging
LOGABSTRACT=all
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
#Recipe 1
:0 Whc: user.lock
# Check to see if the mail was addressed to user
* $^To:.*jennifer.user
# Don't reply to daemons and mailinglists
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^X-Loop: jennifer.user@mydomain.net
| formail -rD 8192 user.cache
:0c eh # if the name was not in the cache
| (formail -rI"Precedence: junk" -I"From: Auto Replier <autoreplier@mydomain.net>" ; -A"X-Loop: jennifer.user@mydomain.net " ; echo "I received your mail," ; echo "however I will be out of the office " ; echo "through March 6th. If you have an issue " ; echo "that must be dealt with immediately, please " ; echo "send your email to: info@mydomain.net " ; echo "Thanks very much. " ; echo " Jennifer User " ; echo "-- jennifer.user@mydomain.net" ) | $SENDMAIL -oi -t
Hope this helps.
