sending an email message based on a subject keyword to an external program

I was wondering if there is a possibility of using postfix to send a message that has some Keyword in the subject line and send it to an external program like gpg? I'm envisioning getting a sensitive set of system messages to want to make them automated and encrypted at the same time (like maybe cron jobs/etc).

Is this possible? and if so how?

A friend of mine and I wrote an encrypting proxy [1] for this purpose
once. Not sophisticated at all, but it did the job for us at the time.

Thanks thought :)

you can use the FILTER statement in header_checks

/^Subject:.*CONFIDENTIAL/ FILTER yourfilterdescriptionhere

See FILTER README for how to setup a filter.
