Feature request

[Julian Field]

You can do this with MCP. See www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/mcp
You will need SpamAssassin 2.60rc4 or else it won't work. You won't need my
SpamAssassin patch to do what you want.

It would actually be a very good example of something useful you can do
with MCP so I would like to know how you get on.
