We do per-user threshold comparisons for smtp protocol-violation 'demerits'
- and per-user spam threshold settings in ordinary acl's
AND - based on results, add selective headers that later determine if a message
is put into a specific folder, left alone, or discarded.
MAY be replacing the headers with acl_(x) variables.
That part not yet tested.
Either way - acl. Filter not needed.
A 'warn' verb preceding the tests pulls the per-user numbers and puts them into
acl_m variables.

The right clever code would auto-create new folders for new lists?
