I won't help. such arrangement althought the idea behind is interesting,
would lead to a lot of inconveniences.
1. What is a business e-mail comes from one of such addresses ? it would
be delayed until next day.
1bis: on the other part, "prioritizing" certain messager originating from
certain addresses would put in evidence other non urgent messages.
1ter: Once the thing is known, can you imagine the number of messages
with fake originating addresses ?
2. such defer would lead to have a lot of messages at the beginning of
the morning. is that what you want ?
3. last but not least, even this message would have been delayed (and
given the festive days, until next monday).

Season greetings, but please, forget the idea.
