I use qpsmtpd, which is written in Perl.  See 
http://develooper.com/code/qpsmtpd/

No GUI, but it is really easy to write plugins to qpsmtpd to do all the things 
you want.  I don't think a plugin that sets a threshold level on 'rcpt to' 
has been written yet, but it would only take around 10 lines of perl to do 
so.

I have written a plugin that logs all kinds of information about the mail 
(including the size of the mail) to a MySQL database - see 
http://www.openminddev.net/twiki/bin/view/Main/QpsmtpdPlugins.  I originally 
had this plugin logging all the headers to the database, but then cut it down 
to just the ones I wanted.

qpsmtpd is well written and easy to adpat to pretty much whatever requirements 
you have.

Cheers,

Rasjid.
