Define 'mail delivery target'. I notice that you are talking about
INTAKE (sendmail/postdrop/SMTP commmands) not DELIVERY, so your
choice of words is unfortunate.
I won't speculate about this further, but I would like to point
out that Postfix is designed to be extensible by pluggging stuff
into protocol interfaces (policy, milter, smtp, lmtp) as well as
the tcp and socketmap lookup table interfaces.
