MACLABEL(7) BSD Miscellaneous Information Manual MACLABEL(7)NAME
maclabel -- Mandatory Access Control label format
DESCRIPTION
If Mandatory Access Control, or MAC, is enabled in the kernel, then in addition to the traditional credentials, each subject (typically a
user or a socket) and object (file system object, socket, etc.) is given a MAC label. The MAC label specifies the necessary subject-specific
or object-specific information necessary for a MAC security policy to enforce access control on the subject/object.
The format for a MAC label is defined as follows:
policy1/qualifier1,policy2/qualifier2,...
A MAC label consists of a policy name, followed by a forward slash, followed by the subject or object's qualifier, optionally followed by a
comma and one or more additional policy labels. For example:
biba/low(low-low)
biba/high(low-high),mls/equal(equal-equal),partition/0

MAC first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0.

MAC_PARTITION(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual MAC_PARTITION(4)NAME
mac_partition -- process partition policy
SYNOPSIS
To compile the process partition policy into your kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
options MAC
options MAC_PARTITION
Alternately, to load the process partition module at boot time, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
options MAC
and in loader.conf(5):
mac_partition_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The mac_partition policy module implements a process partition policy, which allows administrators to place running processes into
``partitions'', based on their numeric process partition (specified in the process's MAC label). Processes with a specified partition can
only see processes that are in the same partition. If no partition is specified for a process, it can see all other processes in the system
(subject to other MAC policy restrictions not defined in this man page). No provisions for placing processes into multiple partitions are
available.
Label Format
Partition labels take on the following format:
partition/value
Where value can be any integer value or ``none''. For example:
partition/1
partition/20
partition/none

The mac_partition policy module first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0 and was developed by the TrustedBSD Project.

BUGS
See mac(9) concerning appropriateness for production use. The TrustedBSD MAC Framework is considered experimental in FreeBSD.
While the MAC Framework design is intended to support the containment of the root user, not all attack channels are currently protected by
entry point checks. As such, MAC Framework policies should not be relied on, in isolation, to protect against a malicious privileged user.

Is there a way to forward email from user1@mydomain.com to user2@mydomain.com only when the subject line is "this subject"?
I figure it would be done with .forward somehow if it is possible.
