Auto reply with Procmail

I have Procmail 3.22 installed on my HP-UX 11.11 servers and want to know if I can use that to do auto reply to every email to a given account. We have a system that will send out emails that include instructions at the bottom to not reply to the email, but some people still do. Rather than me reading this email and manually forwarding it where it should go, I would like to just reject all email to this account and include in the rejection a message like, you should not be sending email here.
Can I do this with sendmail and/or Procmail?

Shalom,

You can set up forwarding in /etc/aliases

Then every mail that a user gets will be forwarded some place else. Even to other systems or domains.

Steven,
I am not looking so much to forward the email as I am looking to reject email to a specific account. If I also can have the ability to include a standard message in the rejection, all the better.

I have not had a reply to this in a while so I am bouncing it back to the head of the list.
