I really like exim's filter capabilities, but it won't play so nicely with postfix installed too. If you really want, I can give you tips on installing exim to act solely as an MDA and not as the system MTA even though it isn't intended to be used that way (and it's like cracking a nut with a sledgehammer).

You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the car windows, shut it off, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue.
