Ooops, I forgot about that! -- yes! you really should do this too!

The original *BSD (sendmail) vacation does that, as does my program.
(both with the ability to specify more addresses besides the user-ID
it's running as on the command-line)

Which brings up the need to properly handle "resent-*" headers too
(though that need is there regardless of this feature). I recently
added "resent-*" handling to my program and this feature will be in the
next release.
