It's not there yet, but it could well appear once the postfix integration
has been done. After sorting everything out for postfix (which has 1 file
per message vs. sendmail+Exim which have 2) this shouldn't be a hard
addition and would create compatibility with some other MTA's.

But don't hold your breath, it's going to take a while. Once the support
load problems are solved (spent this afternoon writing a business proposal
:( I hope to have more time to spend on development. You may have noticed
there hasn't been much devel in the past couple of months.

I've also got plans for some roll-your-own content filtering. An external
program that gets passed the contents of parts of messages so you can do
whatever filtering you like. Everything from a "Swedish chef" translator
(check out http://www.muppetworld.com/cooking/index.html if you don't know
what I mean) to a dirty-picture filter looking for areas of pink. I'll
leave it up to you to write the filters (with a few examples to get you
started).
I've yet to get the protocols sorted out, so that the external program can
be run for multiple messages. It needs to be fast!
