[Mimedefang] Spam maildrop and reject?

Hi there.

I'm in the process of changing to an IMAP-based maildrop for bayes 
learning purposes (hoping to use fetchmail as per the SpamAssassin 
wiki).  Our previous policy was to quarantine and action_bounce any 
mail which received a spamassassin score of 10 or higher, while just 
adding headers to messages scoring between 5 and 10.

My choices, then, appear to be either resend_message to the spamdrop, 
or to delete all the original recipients and add the spamdrop 
recipient.  The disadvantage of the resend_message method appears to 
be that it only sends a copy of the original, unmodified message 
absent any header changes or MIME rebuilding, which I'd like to do in 
order to incorporate the SA report (based on KAM's report_safe code).

It would seem that if I use the delete/add recipients method, I can 
no longer action_bounce.  Is there any way to get the best of both 
worlds, ie, can I both reject the message at the SMTP level and also 
resend a rebuilt message incorporating the SA report, etc.?
