Is there a sendmail style mailer, preferably implemented for Windows, that
allows you to selectively pick which mail domains or mail users can send
mail to each specific userid? For example, we have an account set up for
private correspondence on billing issues with trusted partners. I want to
be able to specify that this one email billing@mysite.com can receive email
from:

trustedpartner1.com
trustedpartner2.com
mysite.com

Everything else would be rejected, but just for that one email address.

I would like to find a way to do this through a GUI that is well defined for
this purpose and not through hacks to sendmail config files.

Sounds like an easy job for procmail, which is usually the
standard sendmail LDA. No windoze here, sorry.

Why would you want a GUI, to edit .procmailrc?

Would procmail also work for "steering" a particular sender's e-mails to a
different destination? For example, we have some salespeople whose offers
we want to see, but no matter how many times I tell them they send the
e-mail to the wrong e-mail alias. For such cases I would like a rule that
says:

email from joe@company.com to: salespeople@mysite.com redirected to:
material-for-sale@mysite.com

I want this so that less sophisticated administrators can do the grunt work.
I don't want to deal with someone who isn't a critical reader and whose
syntax error takes down the entire process.

One wouldn't use procmail in the first place...However what you
are going to do sounds pretty illegal...

Dunno about a windows GUI to configure procmail, albeit you could
probably use webmin for as (http) frontend.

Good luck

That was a bizarre comment. What law saws that a domain owner cannot
redirect its incoming mail to whatever place it wants?

It sounded like outgoing mail not incoming from your initial
description. Secrecy of telecommunications laws might disallow
this depending on your country.

However, incoming can be redirected through procmail or even
virtusertable.
