Yeah thats fine, but two things initially popped up, one the not 
filtering 127.0.0.1 - I don't know if this would affect anything else - 
how about if I use stream_by_recipient or domain - wouldn't these 
messages be coming through with localhost being the relay? I would still 
want to filter these..

Also is it possible that some recipients already got the message? I'm 
kind of thinking out loud here - but is there any case that this message 
could have already reached some of the recipients? Now I'm starting to 
second guess myself ...
