That would be a good test.  Postfix does have the ability to match
regular expressions on headers, but the tests are limited to testing a
single line at a time.  You can however write one of several types of
postfix content inspection modules using your favorite programming or
scripting language.  If you use one of the before queue inspection
methods and you have a busy mail server, you have to watch out that you
don't introduce delays that could cause clients to time out.

You might also look around to see if there's something out there that
would already do that.

Check out http://www.postfix.org/CONTENT_INSPECTION_README.html  I don't
think it's that hard to throw together a perl or python script to do
this.  I have more experience with the policy daemon though.
