I am not sure I understand what you really want, but you can have a setup like this:
in your routers:
reply_router:
        driver          = accept
        require_files   = /home/user/reply.php
        local_part_suffix_optional
        local_part_prefix = reply+
        transport       = replypipe


in your transports:
replypipe:
        driver          = pipe
        command         = /home/user/reply.php
        return_path_add = false
        return_fail_output = true
        log_output      = true
        home_directory  = "/tmp"
        current_directory = "/tmp"


This will execute reply.php piped with the contents of the mail every time
reply+***** is seen.
