Speaking of special handling like that...  Is there a generic way to
hold things like that for human review/intervention?  That is,
suppose you want to manually choose to delete or process everything
sent to anyone at bigbrother.roaringpenguin.com (and by process, I
mean send to the original recipients, so resending would have to
be done in a way that did not lose them).  One use for this is
stuff sent to big internal lists or trouble-ticketing systems. I
don't trust spam-scoring to always get customer-service type
emails right, but I'd like to avoid letting any spam through when
it will annoy a large list of people or go into a database to be
kept forever.  I have some mailman-based lists set to hold messages
with high spam-score headers for approval, but I'd like the same for
some other things.
