Thanks to everyone who responded on this. I've never tried running
multiple postfix instances on the same machine but it would certainly
solve the problem very neatly indeed.
I have a spam/av server ahead of the postfix machine so I can specify
the port and IP address without too much trouble based on recipient, I'm
not clear on how else I'd choose the correct instance but will
investigate. Thanks again

Hello fellow Postfix users,
I am attempting to configure a postfix server for multiple domains,
which will use a milter to send an email to a mailarchiving store
(mailarchiva). What I would like to do is:
Match the originating domain in outbound mail using a hash table or sql
lookup and use a specific milter depending on domain
Match the to: address in incoming mail to similarly choose a milter
based on domain
Not possible. Postfix must connect to the milter before it knows the
recipient.
The reason is that I should like each company(domain) to have its own
mailarchiving store containing only their own emails, and I would like
to run multiple instances of the mailarchiving software on another
server distinguished from each other by port number.
I guess some sort of domain:port_number mapping would suffice. Is this
possible using milters or might it be easier to use a custom script?
A single milter that handles all domains is what you need. Or maybe a
"master" milter that can connect to multiple secondary milters based
on the recipient.
Or easiest would be to use MX records to send mail for each domain to
its own postfix instance.
