Basically, I'd like to set up an autoresponder that looks for messages to

in setting this kind of thing up for "important" addresses like postmaster?
I wouldn't do it for 'postmaster', that's the address of last resort
when all your nice autoresponders fail.
You may mean that you want to set up an autoresponder for
'mailer-daemon', or whatever control/bouncefrom is set to. If you
do, be sure to respond to the envelope sender address, and use a
null envelope sender address on the reply.
