Well, your outbound postfix machines will route the bounces to whatever address is used in the "mail from:<foo>" envelope. Just run a catchall at the domain of choice and a script to parse the messages. Your outbound mail server doesn't send bounces to the addresses in the headers, it sends it to the address in the envelope.
