Use forward, which is a small wrapper around qmail-queue and doesn't
reformat its input at all.  Its main peculiarity is that it insists on
having environment variables SENDER and DTLINE set, so you can do
something like this:

    export SENDER=$LOGNAME
    export DTLINE="Delivered-To: me
    "

    for X in *viviotech*
    do
            /var/qmail/bin/forward newaddress@some.where < $X
    done
