The errors_to generic option for directors can set the errors address.
However, it applies to all addresses generated by that director. The
only way of doing what you want would be to change the forward file so
that it creates a new message, sent by the local user. Something like
\<user>
|/usr/lib/sendmail <different user>@<some other domain>
This would look a bit odd, as it would acquire a Sender: header from the
local domain. A better approach would be to pipe it to a script which
did a proper "resend" operation.
