That's similar to what I do now.

I say if the outgoing is from me, and is not addressed to my address at gmail
(so that it doesn't keep bouncing), then bounce it to the gmail address. 

But when I do that, unlike the BCC, the To: address is wrong, it's my gmail
address instead of the real To: address, and the CC: addresses are lost.

I guess I'll see if there is a port of "formail" for Win32, and use the -A
option to add a BCC: field (or whatever PMMail puts in the outgoing message
before sending). Then call formail in a pre-send filter.
