send mail from the current account and get mail forwarded somewhere
according to the Reply-To address:
From: me(_at_)remote(_dot_)com
Subject: forward-on SOME-MAGIG-PASSWORD-STRING
Reply-To: ThisAccount(_at_)here(_dot_)com
The procmail would see if SOME-MAGIG-PASSWORD-STRING matches
and set the current forwarding to ThisAccount(_at_)here(_dot_)com(_dot_)
You should probably restrict this to only look at mail from your own
account(s), and perhaps do away with the password stuff. (I don't
think it adds that much security. But then it's not much extra work
either.)

Notice how the subject line is anchored with a $ at the end; I do that
with my passwords. Or you could allow only whitespace before EOL.
It would be great if the procmail responded to "me(_at_)remote(_dot_)com"
that
"Forward now pointing to ThisAccount(_at_)here(_dot_)com" or "You have no
permission to change Forwarding" if the SOME-MAGIG-PASSWORD-STRING is
invalid.
formail -rt will obey Reply-To but you could of course remove it
before generating the reply:
:0ch
| ( formail -IReply-To: | formail -rt -I"Subject: $SUBJECT"; \
cat $RESPFILE ) | $SENDMAIL -oi -t
I have assumed that whatever you did above this set the SUBJECT and
RESPFILE to reflect what happened -- either allow or deny forward
redirection. The left, as they say, is left as an exercise.
