With postfix, you could write a content_filter which does your conversion, then just use it as a relay after that. All a content_filter is to postfix, is something that speaks smtp. Postfix accepts the message, sends it to the content filter, then the content filter sends it back to postfix on another port, and postfix then sends it. I dont know of any such content_filter's that exist right now. Does the message send both html and plaintext? If that is the case, you can use sendmail and mimedefang to just strip the html off, and then relay.
