How to direct an auto-reply?

Folks:

In Canada we have new legislation coming in July 1st that states we must have "explicit permission" to send out any commercial emails. This means that if someone fills out a subscription form, we have to verify the address as true by sending a confirmation email.

I have a subscription form on my site that generates an email to me and the client, but when I try to create an auto reply from the incoming email, I get this error message:

"I'm sorry to inform you that the message below could not be delivered.
When delivery was attempted, the following error was returned.
<designeremailsignup@www.klsimages.com>: mail for www.klsimages.com loops back
to myself"

Now I understand that it is looping back to the sender (my site), but how do I get it to send the confirmation to the actual subscriber?

Am I going about this whole confirmation thing wrong? Is there a built-in function in WFB to do this?

Thanks,

Kenneth
