Read the procmailex(5) manpage.  You'll want a recipe that looks
something like:
              :0 c
              * ^Subject:.*whatever here
              ! theother(_at_)persons(_dot_)address(_dot_)here

So does this perform a 'forward' or a 'bounce'.  I have to admit I
don't understand all the implications of either, but I know the bounce
is 'cleaner' for lack of a better one word description.

Procmail's '!' action resends ('bounces') the message.  The body of the
messages is unmodified and the header sender and recipient lines are not
changed.  All that changes about the message are the 'trace' header fields
(Received: and Return-Path:) and the envelope sender and recipients.
