It looks like a wrapper around qmail-remote would do the trick. E.g.,
create a script like the following and put it in
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-remote after renaming the real qmail-remote to
qmail-remote-real:
#!/bin/pseudoperl
$host=$1;
$sender=$2;
$recip=$3; # could be multiple recipients
# check table of senders/recips
if $ok
exec /var/qmail/bin/qmail-remote-real;
else
die "$sender can't send to $recip\@$host";
