Adding auto reply emails to Google Apps for Domain Groups

Method: Create one main account and add the auto reply aliases(nicknames) to this account.  Setup Filters which filter incoming messages based on auto reply addresses(To:). Messages will automatically be sent a canned response, a label is set and then a copy is forwarded to Google App Group(s).

1) Create an all purpose account to house the auto-replies.  I created auto-reply@sysadminpunk.com.

2) Under this auto-reply account we will create Nicknames or aliases from within the Admin Management Panel of your Google Apps account.

3) Create appropriate groups to receive emails from Nicknames
4) Log into auto-reply account and setup canned responses for filters.5) Setup Filters

6) This support email requires a canned response as well as being forwarded to a group: 

Here are my two filters:
