I think the only way to do that would be to pipe the message to a local
script that creates a new message to the other address, instead of
normal forwarding.
Alternatively, if you are the administrator of the machine and can
tinker with the Exim configuration, you could set up a personal
forwardfile director with errors_to set to you. You could use a
"condition" option to make it conditional on the subject of the message.
Indeed, you don't even have to bother with a .forward file; just use a
smartuser with a condition test and an errors_to setting.
