Postfix has two ways to hook into the "live" message stream: http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_PROXY_README.html This is SMTP-based, but Postfix does the hard work for you. http://www.postfix.org/MILTER_README.html This uses a different protocol. It's unlikely that a third hook will be added any time soon.
