The usual way to achieve this is to invoke a script in your .forward file. If you use MH, you can invoke the slocal in your .forward program to do the filtering for you (see man mhook). Wrt acknowlegments, it is considered bad form to acknowledge mail not sent to you personally (i.e. if you don't appear in the To: and Cc: lines, your script should not reply). This rules out certain versions of the Berkeley "vacation" program that reply no matter who sends.
