You can do this with a Custom Function attached to "Non Spam Actions" that
checks the subject and the destination address. If it matches then it
returns "deliver forward yourpager at domain.com". If it doesn't match then it
returns "deliver".

sub PagerAction {
   my($message) = @_;

   return "deliver" unless $message;

   if ($message->{to}[0] eq 'targetaddress at you.com' && $message->{subject}
=~ /your special subject/i) {
     return 'deliver forward yourpager at domain.com';
   } else {
     return 'deliver';
   }
}

I haven't tried that, but it should work. Be warned it will only look at
the 1st recipient of the message. You will probably want to turn that into
a loop to check all the recipients of the message to see if any of them match.
