I'm interested... but not in passing the message unfiltered (I don't
think that's a good idea, too), but having some kind of notification if
a filter fails (I use one for 7bit conversion, without which mails won't
be accepted by the receiving MTA).
Current behaviour is deferring transmission and applying the retry
rules, which will just result in another filter crash.
Having the possibility to freeze the mail after a filter error would
solve my problem.
