How not to have Gmail send auto-replies to spam messages.

The user has stopped using their gmail address, and has gotten a custom domain hosted by another provider. They have the old gmail set up to send an auto-reply to mail still sent to the old gmail address. This message says  "I have a new email address - please use  abc@xyz.com"

The user would like to make sure that the auto-reply isn't sent to any spammers.

Does gmail send auto-replies to the messages that it filters and files in the Junk E-mail folder?  If so, is there a way to route the mail and send the auto-reply after the spam has been removed?

Thanks.

If gmail was auto-forwarded to another account which would send the auto-reply, would the spam be kept in the Junk-Email box or forwarded as well?

Could gmail be set up so that the vacation auto reply could still be forwarded and then deleted?
