[Xiaoyan Ma]

Thanks for Kelson's help but I still have a few questions:

How can I only tempfail 2 of 5 recipients then?  Is stream_by_recipient the 
right approach or I can hold them in @tempfail, tempfail them at the end of 
filter_begin.  If the second approach should work, do I need to 
delete_recipient them all so they won't receive the message 
since  @Recipients is global?

Please bear with me if I am confused.

Thanks.

Remember, any time you call return, it'll stop processing the 
subroutine.  So in this case, it will *never* call delete_recipient, and it 
will only run up to the first recipient that triggers should_greylist().
