I would first like to make it clear that I am totally against this sort
of jack-booted dictatorship. If your employer does not trust their
employees, maybe they should consider hiring employees that they /can/
trust. And you and other employees should consider moving to an
employer who treats you more like assets than liabilities. If there are
a million ways of preventing users from taking information out of the
company, there are a million and ten ways of doing it. You can never
block every avenue out. What about people copying the so called
sensitive information into floppy disks and taking them outside? Or
does your employer strip search everyone on your way from work? In
which case, who strip searches the strip searcher?
That being said, look into /etc/postfix/transport and read the man page
or docs that come with postfix about the transport map. Also look for a
new, more rewarding job.
This is one way of doing what you want. There might be other ways too.
