With 3.3, you can use the program() destination, and a shell script. If
you upgrade to 3.5 (available on backports.debian.org), then you can use
the smtp() destination.

I would recommend upgrading to 3.5.

With the smtp() destination, you can filter events any way you like, and
then route them to the mail destination. Please see the excellent
administrator guide[1] on how to achieve that.
