filtering outbound mail

I would like users to be able to filter their outgoing mail, the same
way they can filter mail received, e.g. through procmail or mailagent as
mail delivery agents (let us call MDA):

MUA ---> MDA --> sendmail


What is the best way to set up such service?

Thank you

Tell them to turn on their brains, and don't send mail that they wish to
filter.

Sotty, maybe i have used wrong words.
Filtering would be useful to save outgoing mail into selected folders,
besides the the common outbox.
Outgoing mail filtering rules should be consistent with the incoming
mail rules, so that folders gathering letters pertaining to a given
subject can be maintained.

sendmail is a Mail Transport Agent (MTA) and has nothing to do with
"folders".

Right. Filtering / filing of outgoing messages is a function of the
Mail User Agent. Kmail (part of KDE) can do this; I don't think
Thunderbird can at the moment.
