You've encountered one of the limitations of the built in TEC adapter.

No problem though--just use a script.  In the script, have an if
clause to send a postemsg with the appropriate class set based on the
condition you wish to isolate.

If you're using correlation rulesets, this script could be launched by
an Action node instead of using Forward.  If you're doing actions
directly based on the trap in the trap configuration screen, just
confirgure the script to run from there.
