You need to (a) configure his mail server to route all email to your 
server. See section 47.1 of the docs.  He'll want something like:
send_to_smart_host:
    driver = manualroute
    route_list = !+local_domains smart.host.name
    transport = remote_smtp


(b) configure your server to somehow put all mail from him into a relevant
local mailbox. You might do that with a redirect router. See section 22.
You'll want something like this:

intercept:
    data = foo@???
    senders = bar@???


This won't change the content of the message headers, just the envelope
recipient.


Actually, you could just do (b) on the client's mail server.
