serialmail is not what you are looking for. Either:
a. you didn't pick up that serialmail delivers a whole maildir to a
  *single* remote host
or
b. you want to use serialmail to inject mail into your smarthost

In case a, it should be obvious that serialmail is not your tool.
In case b, you might as well generate your special mails and inject
them into your smarthost at once.

Also, have you looked at qmail-verh? It's on www.qmail.org, and it
allows you to insert email-adresses into message bodies. I'm sure it
can be tweaked to do the same with names or the like.
