well, your original request was about "forward" - not "reply".
so this is why you should have described your problem in
the first place as this turns out to be quite different.

you'll get the "admin@" address if there were an
appropriate Reply-To: line with this kind of email, right?
so i suggest you will instruct procmail to add such
a line before storing it in your special folder.
oyutline of procmail settings and rule:
FQDN=easter-eggs.com
REPLYADDRESS=admin@whatever
:0 hfw
* ^From:.*admin@$FQDN
|formail -a "Reply-To: $REPLYADDRESS"
note: untested. but you'll get the idea.

this changes the message - and therefore you should use the power
of your editor to apply it. ("set editor=vi" and ":r filename").
> The real question is how to do this by a forward..
please forget about the "forward" and think in terms of "reply".
