I have a few suggestions.

First, you need to use outgoing filters.  Given that, you can guarantee
that people can reply to you.  That's a FAQ:

That also solves the C/R deadlock problem.

There are better interfaces than grep for when you want to check your
pending queue.  The tmda-pending script will keep track of what you've
already seen, and there's a CGI that I hear is nice.  Personally, I hardly
ever go fishing in pending.  I just use it for analysis.

When you're filling out a form for an automatic response, use a tagged
address.

It's easier to do this:

tmda-pending --release 1234.789.msg
