It if makes you feel any better, I have been calling it from filter_end 
for quite some time now. And, yes, I wrap the method with an if 
statement that then discards the mail. This is also something I use for 
required logic earlier in my filtering:

#***********************************************************************
# %PROCEDURE: will_stream_by_recipient
# %ARGUMENTS:
# %RETURNS:
# True when streaming will take place
# %DESCRIPTION:
# Determines whether or not this message will be streamed.
#***********************************************************************
sub will_stream_by_recipient() {
return 0 if (!in_message_context("stream_by_recipient"));
if ($#Recipients <= 0) {
# Only one recipient (or none??)
return 0;
}
return 1;
}

Regards,
Nate
