Another way to go would be to set up an aliases file for special cases and
place the director for that early using the aliasfile driver. Since it is
a short list for temporary special cases, just make it an lsearch.
Then, in the file do something like this in the alias file
user-foo: :fail: This email address is temporarily out of order
I use this mechanism with :defer: when I need to fiddle with a mailbox by
hand.

Relativism is the triumph of authority over truth, convention over justice.
