If this is really what you want to do, then the way to do it is to set an
acl var, and have a redirect router with a condition based on that acl var
redirecting to the handler address before your other routers.

By doing this, you'll effectively de-dupe the address list and nothing
will get through to the apparently "intended" recipients.

Personally though, if people email my bait addresses, the email address and
host go into a 3 month blacklist.
