Right.

This was a means of allowing "remote" users, such as people running
mail programs on Windows, to send mail and have the addresses
tagged. In other words, it was an outgoing mail configuration and had
nothing to do with tmda-filter.  The new tmda-ofmipd program is a
complete replacement for that patch and has additional functionality,
too.

You can find this at http://www.qmail.org/.  It's a simple patch to
allow an external program or script to be run between qmail-smtpd and
qmail-queue.  Unless you're a reasonably advanced qmail user, you
probably won't understand why that's useful, but it allows certain
types of mail processing to occur before the incoming message is
deposited in the on-disk mail queue.

It is possible that, with some work, TMDA could be made to fit in that
spot of the qmail processing chain, but today it is still tied to
actual delivery.  The variables that TMDA relies on, like SENDER,
RECIPIENT, etc., are not yet in the environment.

The QMAILQUEUE environment variable tells the qmailqueue patch which
external program to run instead of qmail-queue.

For what you're trying to do, I'm afraid not.
