in one project I'm sending a bunch of status mails to a number of

The bounces from the mail come back to my mail server and should go
to a contractor of us managing the e-mail addresses.
Stop there. The mail envelope sender should direct bounces to the
party responsible, and they should deal with the mail directly. Set
the envelope sender properly and don't use crappy workarounds.
The mail is bounced to the server responsible for it - my mail server.
The "deal with the mail" is what I'm talking here, because I must inform
somebody else about the bounce. I'm searching a simple way to make the
bounce mail available in a form that it is not rejected by mailinglist
software with automatic bounce detection.
Currently I manually write a mail from time to time telling them about the
bouncing mails and the reasons, so they can update the database. It would
be MUCH easier when they simply could read the bounces themselves.
Now I forward the mail to an email on their mail server where it arrives, but
later it gets lost somewhere when internal distribution is done.
Probably a mailinglist dropping bounces or something alike.
I'd like to know if there is an easy way in my postfix instance to
encapsulate the bounce mails (or any email) I get into new mails of
my own containing the bounce and maybe a simple text like "E-Mail
delivery issue for ...", so it is no longer a normal bounce, but a
normal email?
If you must do this, hold your nose and pipe the bounce to formail.
Sorry, but that sentence does not help me to understand what needs to be
done at all.
Or get a better provider.
What provider?
