I do something similar with fakereject and control=freeze/no_tell.
We pretend to reject the offending message, sending an appropriate
message back to the sender. The message itself is frozen on the queue
and can be 'moderated' as appropriate.
In fact I use this on someone else's system for messages which my own
servers would just reject out of hand -- the intention was that the
rejection message would point to a URL containing a 'captcha' which a
real person could use to unfreeze their genuine false positive.
But I keep meaning to do something based on this for replacing mailman,
which I grow to hate more and more every day :)
