Hello,
I never tried it but I think you can use the mail API to send an email
from the same servlet you use to receive the messages.
I think the best thing to do is create an account to use for these
replies and set it as an admin for your application, something like
"[email protected]"
*Parse the incoming message to detect the sender
*Set the account you created as the sender of the reply (it must be
one of the admins of the app: you could use your own address, but I
think it's better to create one)
*Send the mail via the API

Hope this helps
Regards
Lorenzo
