Where in my spec above did I mention From or To? You can put a ruleset 
on this configuration setting, so you could create rules in a ruleset 
that looked like (for example)
To:     user1 at domain1.com     forward user2 at domain2.com store deliver
FromOrTo:     domain3.com     store delete
From:     user3@*     deliver header "X-Wibble: yes"
