Perhaps - and no idea if it would work! - a rewrite rule like:

  fred@???   "${if match {$h_Subject:} {/^magic/} \
                               {eric} {paul}}@???"         T


So that the envelope RCPT TO address gets rewritten if it initially matches
'fred@???'. Of course it depends if $h_Subject: is set. You'll need
to check the syntax of the if/match bit too.
