We do this for specific messages from the postmaster. We used a message filter
file (look at the message_filter configure option) to look for specific
addresses and then freeze the messages. Something like:
if ${sender_address_local_part} is "postmaster" and ${recipients} matches
"\\\\buop-" and first_delivery then
freeze
endif
In this case any message from the postmaster to any recipient beginning 'uop-'
is frozen. At that point we can check the message headers and body and send it
on or remove it. Very nice. A director picks up the prefix and handles the
message (you may not need that bit).
