You will obviously like the ZMailer configuration language: a modern shell
with exactly this extension (originally in the case statement but it will
be a 'sift' statement in the next version).  Oh, and the way to write it
is

sift $domain in
(.)\.(.)\.edu)
	department=\1
	university=\2
	;;
tfis

because I use token-based REs.
