What you want to do is set the following on the outgoing SMTP router :

    errors_to = ${if eq {$sender_address_local_part}{info} {the_bounce_receiver@your_domain.example} {$sender_address}}


this will change the envelope so that bounces go to the desired address.

You can change the envelope (see above). It doesn't matter that
outlook (or whatever) sets the envelope undesirably. It also doesn't
matter that they are in a different department.
