If you do this, you will have to leave your computer on 24/7, be connected
to the Internet, and have your e-mail program open. If you want do this
anyway, the link below will explain how to do it. One thing I would
suggest is that where it says to create a rule and check For All Messages,
you change it and make the rule for people in your address book only.
Otherwise you will be replying to Spam as well and could end up in an
endless loop of bounces.
Your ISP may offer this service which would be a better choice.

To add to what Bruce responded:
Any hiccup in Windows, or even a brief power failure, is likely to upset that method.
Your mail provider will most likely have that feature available on the server.

Or you could just BCC everyone in your address book with a message before
you go.
