Hi,

maybe you can use some scripting - there is 'Execute' action in
filtering and similarly, in templates, you can use program output. So
some external script could do what you want. Maybe you can use
scripting plugin for this, too... I am doing such specialized
forwarding on server I am administering, but this is out of scope of
this mailing list. Take it just as an explanation why I am not more
exact in my answer :)
