   No, but on Linux or any other Unix the best way around it is to put
into your home directory ".forward" file with your new address.

  However, if you want to erasse the home directory, simply put the
new address to the /etc/aliases and run "newaliases" to create the
/etc/aliases.db used by sendmail.

   However, I never arranged the automatic reply. I would also be
interested, what it takes to arrange it.
