Unusual Filtering Request

I've got a bit of a situation that requires some creative message
filtering and need some advice as how best to proceed.

We've got certain machines in one particular user area that are
maintained at a higher security than our normal day to day work
stations.

Due to the nature of the work, users in this area can sign on to more
than one work station, including these high security machines.
Internal politics require that people use a single sign on for any
machine in this area.

E-mail is a requirement on all machines in this area, since our outside
partners do send alerts that need to be noticed asap. We want to
restrict e-mail on these high security machines to only those messages
sent by an outside partner.

My problem is how to filter what messages are presented in the Outlook
Inbox, based on what machine a user is signed on to.

I basically want to only allow messages from approved senders to be
seen on these high security machines, but when a user is at a 'normal'
workstation, all messages would be displayed.

Any suggestions?

thx

I can't answer your filtering question, but why is the above
requirement tagged as 'Internal politics'? Unified logon makes life
easier for your users and the corresponding help desk. It shouldn't be
viewed as burdensome.

While off subject, I agree that unified logon is the way to go (in many
instances), but for these high security machines, we (IT) would like to
have seen these particular computers totally isolated from our 'normal'
corporate network, with no e-mail or internet access.

However realities of the workplace are such that compromises had to be
made (i.e. politicking), and we feel pretty good that the user group
does agree to what security measures we do have in place
 
you can't do it per machine like that - they'd need a different mailbox to
restrict the mail. give them blackberries so they get their important mail
without compromising the computer.
