"Between internal mail hosts"?  You mean if a client on your LAN injects
a message, you don't want to scan it, but if it comes from the outside
world, you do?

If so, you can use a single qmail-smtpd.  Just use tcpserver's IP-based
rules to set QMAILQUEUE to "" for your LAN's addresses, and
".../my-filter" for everything else.

Yes, ofmipd does exactly that, but allows some flexibility in header
rewriting and such.  Note, however, that Bruce Guenter's QMAILQUEUE
patch only patches the files in the main qmail distribution.  ofmipd
comes from the mess822 package; you'd have to apply a similar change to
ofmipd to make it obey the QMAILQUEUE env. var.
