Postfix can filter mail on any header regexp -
your choice of posix or perl regexps in fact.

No milter needed, postfix does this in a stage
called "header checks"

Postfix has a totally different architecture, so
sendmail-specific architectural add-ons don't
make sense here.

Don't get me wrong, sendmail is a good MTA -
most would-be replacements fall far short in
terms of features and flexibility - but we've
concluded that postfix (& only postfix so far)
is worthy to assume sendmail's duties here.
