Please google for qmail-spp patch.
It allows to filter mails on the 'from' and 'to' content base.
I am not sure if the filter you are looking for is available but for instance I am using this patch to block the mails sent to some local accounts which should be available only for local users.
I am pretty sure you will be able to easily create your own filter if you have some programming skills.
Or maybe you will find the ready to use filter you need.

Not from within qmail, but you could try the limit option on iptables:
