At minimum, you'll have to switch to a MTA layer integration to do that. The forwarding in /etc/aliases is done without calling procmail, so there's nothing you can do about it at that point. Procmail is only called as mail is delivered locally. Forwarded/relayed messages aren't being delivered, so there's no procmail call. Also, I don't know of any MTA layer integration that can modify forwarding behaviors based on tag vs no tag. However, to have *any* shot at scanning a message that will be forwarded via /etc/aliases you'll need to scan at the MTA layer. (using a milter, qmail-scanner, mimedefang, mailscanner, amavis, etc)
