let me see if I got it right.

(cheap example)

should be all in one line:

AXB_RCVD_ZOOBSEND To:blah1 at domain.tld DELETE|QUARANTINE|FORWARD: 
blah22domain.tld

AXB_RCVD_ZOOBSEND From:blah3 at domain.tld 
DELETE|QUARANTINE|FORWARD|REDIRECT: blah33domain.tld

(one action option per rule)

I see a lot of potential uses for FORWARD/REDIRECT actions.
