I've used, and implemented qmail in a commercial environments for
quite some time. Looking at my simple diagram I can see how I may have
misled you.

What I meant by that was that Qmail would check the domain and from
that decide on the SMTP route (ie send out to the gateway or to the
filtering system).

Qmail supports SMTP routing based on domain name. This is a very simple
task (if that is what is required).

Writing a module is a tad overkill, unless I'm missing the point of
what you wish to do.
