Have a look at <http://www.sendmail.org/doc/sendmail-current/libmilter/docs/> 
and <http://www.milter.org/>. The sendmail mail filter API "milter" is around 
for several years now and the list of milter applications is quite big.

As far as I remember, milter applications hook the SMTP dialogue and are thus 
able to intercept it in any state, i.e. before the DATA.

With sendmail X there seems to be a cool MTA coming up.

Cheers,
