sendmail forward and message

Hi,
is it possible to configure sendmail in order to forward emails from a
user to another and, at the same time, to reply to the sender with a
message that states the addressed user does no more exists? I know how
to do the things in a separate way (.forward or alias and
virtusertable), but not how to compose them (in fact I failed trying to
compose them). Any help?

Thanks,
Luca

Create an alias (or ~/.forward file) to forward the message to two
addresses. The first is the user's new email address, while the second
sends the reply, e.g. a program alias which invokes the "vacation"
command.

Alternatively, you can use FEATURE(redirect) for the second alias:

redirect Reject all mail addressed to "address.REDIRECT" with
a ``551 User has moved; please try
