You might find my fromdomain perl script useful, though this wasn't what I
wrote it for.  It is called by condredirect like:
        |condredirect some-other@address ./bin/fromdomain this.domain \
                that.domain 123.234.

(all on one line; remove the "\" and join)

That particular invocation will look through the Received headers and will
trigger condredirect if-and-only-if *all* the Received headers say the
message was received by and from one of: this.domain, that.domain or IP
addresses in the network 123.234.0.0.

see http://silverlock.dgim.crc.ca/~terskine/qmail/fromdomain for the
script.
