Thank you.
I'll try the procmail solution, since my mail server is used
by a lot of people and no experimental releases can be installed.

However, it would be a great thing if such feature were
included in next postfix official/stable release (2.0.17).

Hoping Wietse or some developer is reading this message... :-)
