I have not tried it, but I think you can probably do it by
(a) Restricting all deliveries to one recipient. Note that this will use
more bandwidth for remote deliveries. There are opinions on both
sides about whether this is a Good Thing or a Bad Thing.
(b) Supplying appropriate re-writing rules for the envelope sender.
(c) Configuring a suitable director to use the suffix option for
handling the bounces.
