In queuing mode, and in deferred delivery mode, sendmail will place all the mails it receives in its queue directory (or across multiple directories, if you have multiple queuing configured). You can also invoke sendmail processes to run the queue, either in full or selecting by sender or by recipient, or by queue ID. 
 
To run sendmail in queuing mode, either change your sendmail.cf or sendmail.mc file to include the appropriate option, or invoke sendmail with -O DeliveryMode=q in the command line. 
 
To run a queue process, run 
 
sendmail -q 
 
To limit the queue process to messages by recipient, use 
 
sendmail -qR&lt;string&gt; 
 
- if &lt;string&gt; is found in the recipient address, the queue process will attempt to deliver the message 
 
Similarly 
 
sendmail -qS&lt;string&gt; 
 
to process by sender. 
 
All of this is detailed in the sendmail man pages.

I think there is a way to filter mail by 
letting sendmail recieve mail and place them in 
one directory. A there have a script that filters the mail 
and put it in a another directory and from there let 
another sendmailprocess empty that directory/queue. 
 
Which parameters should I put after the sendmail command ?

Sendmail options and queueing

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
