This is quite possibly the best "newbie" message to the list I've seen in
months. Thank you for doing your research.

A bounce message is just another message to qmail. What you could do is use
the QUEUE_EXTRA feature to send copies of all mail to an alias (msglog is
a common choice). Then have a file ~alias/.qmail which does something like:
|grep -q MAILER-DAEMON && exit 99
&you@yourdomain
This should forward copies of qmail bounces to you. You could make the grep
term a little more flexible to catch bounces from other MTAs.

Once a message hits qmail-queue, it will be sent once for each recipient.
An alternative would be to have a wrapper around qmail-queue which determines
if the message is to a local or remote address; if its local, it calls
qmail-queue; otherwise it sends it directly to your ISP's smarthost
(using nullmailer perhaps?).
