My thought was a milter condition, taking the milter name, SMTP stage
and any arguments for the milter.

If the milter needs to be invoked at three stages, you add the milter at
those three stages. If it's only needed in one, you only invoke it
there.

But these thoughts are based in part on a lack of experience with
milters, so might be asinine.
