I can do this with some perl scripting, but the locking needed to be
reliable is ugly, I have to maintain it, and it will be just the minimum
functionality I need to solve my current problem. If there's some spiffy
solution I missed it would be a timesaver.

Sendmail can do it - you have to get into the more advanced
configuration. You don't need to put the mail in separate queues -
you can set different rules for different destinations. But you will
probably need a Sendmail guru to set it up for you.

I could set it up if I had to, but that's not what I'm looking for. I want the stuff in different queues, and while I might be able to do it in sendmail using perl or similar to handle the reason messages in the qf file is easier. I was hoping for a tool which has nice rules, a human readable config, and logging. And it would have to be done in sendmail.cf, so I'd have to patch every time a change in the .mc file is made.

You may be able to do the same with Postfix but I have never checked
on it.

Thanks, but I'd rather have something which sits on top of an unmodified sendmail, less likely to be broken by updates.
