Gary,

  I don't personally use the feature so I'm not going to be able to give 
you much details, but it sounds like stream_by_recipient() might be what 
you're looking for.  check man mimedefang-filter for more details.

you'll probably also want to look at filter_sender and or 
filter_recipient to handle the recipient count logic and the file size 
logic.

hope this helps
