Here's an idea: in addition to the Autoresponder, set the user with the
Nobody alias to forward to a box you know will never exist, say one on a
special Imail virtual (sub)domain like "undeliverable.domain.com." That
way, the server-side forward will fail and send back a Postmaster message to
the original sender with the original body.
Full disclosure: I haven't tried this.
