Not wanting to burst your bubble, but... You are aware of what happens when
spam or a virus is sent to an address with an autoresponder hiding behind
it, right?

No worries - this is not a posted email address. Its an old account that I needed an email to be sent back to the submitter of a form, and cgiemail doesn't support that.

i.e. someone submits a form on domain.com, cgiemail sends the form contents to the site owner and the autoreply address, which sends a 'thank you' back to the submitter, under the name of the site owner. So the autoreply address is never exposed and can't be picked up by spammers.

Good thinking tho.
