For a mailserver, there are no concepts like incoming or outgoing
mails. These are purely client points of view. For the server, mails
are classified as relayed mails and locally delivered mails.

You have excellent software like procmail and maildrop to filter locally
delivered mails. Milter is a sendmail API that lets you develop filters
for relayed emails. Other server software too have similar mechanisms,
I guess (my Courier server has a courierfilter system).

Now, you might want to rethink your opinion on Milter. Read its
documentation once again. And maybe about email systems too.
