At present, there is no way to do this in a user filter.
A system filter can use the errors_to keyword to set a return address
(i.e. the "envelope to") field. There seems no reason why this should
not be allowed for ordinary users, provided that it is set to the same
address as would be used when an ordinary message is sent - in other
words to yourself. (Trusted users could be allowed any address.) I have
made a note of this idea.
