I think my soft rules idea could help with this kind of situation, but
you'd lose the behaviour of concatenating the results of all the rules
that match. I'm not particularly convinced of the value of that feature,
though -- you can achieve it by just being a bit more verbose in your
rules file, e.g. instead of

        To:     special at dotat.at        bounce
        To:     *@dotat.at              deliver

you would say

        To:     special at dotat.at        bounce deliver
        To:     *@dotat.at              deliver
