Create an alias (or ~/.forward file) to forward the message to two
addresses. The first is the user's new email address, while the second
sends the reply, e.g. a program alias which invokes the "vacation"
command.

Alternatively, you can use FEATURE(redirect) for the second alias:

redirect	Reject all mail addressed to "address.REDIRECT" with
		a ``551 User has moved; please try <address>'' message.
		If this is set, you can alias people who have left
		to their new address with ".REDIRECT" appended.
