You can now pretty much do this. If you make the outgoing queue directory a
tiny little custom function, and have it make the outgoing queue directory
depend on the sascore attribute, then the output queue will depend on the
SpamAssassin score. You then *don't* run a sendmail -q15m on this extra
queue directory,but only deliver messages 1 at a time by hand (with a
sendmail -qI command).
