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
