Sorry about the self follow-up, but I think I understand what
you were thinking of now :-)
Yes, this should definitely be doable, even with a different
filter set than the incoming mail.
Instead of 'set sendmail="/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -oem"' or similar
in your mailer's .rc file, you put a wrapper that calls both
procmail and your MTA on the outgoing mail.
