[Mimedefang] spam filtering per user on a gateway

[Jared Armstrong]

Another way would be to log the spam, then remove just that one recipient 
(jsmith) from the message using delete_recipient().  This would allow others 
to receive the message intact.  The solution below would only apply when 
jsmith is the only recipient, perhaps causing confusion in your test 
environment.

Not knocking the provided solution of course, it is probably exactly what you 
were looking for.
