You need to find a rule for defining what you mean by "outgoing". It
could be "from certain hosts" or "from certain senders at certain
hosts". When you have found your rule, you should be able to create a
suitable condition (if necessary, check out the "condition" condition
for routers) for a similar router to the one above.
