Subject: RE: nobody alias - Tea & No Tea at same time?

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.
