Actually we have user that automatic redirect messages to their personal accounts. And this behaviour is not 100% approved by the university. So I want to put a disclaimer in those people, as example: john@××××××××××.com redirects to john@×××××.com. I want to put a disclaimer in *ALL* messages redirected to external domains.

There's no recipient check in my mail filtering gateway. I leave this job to my final destination. It's not easy to get the final destination since we have some different end destination servers and a separate mailman server.

I can't really understand your example: in this situation everything will be "disclaimed"; and I just want to modify messages to people that receive their corporate emails in their personal account.

Thanks for you help and sorry about the delay to answer your message.
