Yes.

What you need is a Custom Function that edits the recipients list in each
message, according to whether they want to be filtered or not. I've done
something like this already, just haven't yet published it.

What form would people like it in? Added to the per-user white and black
list code?
It would have to be a simple "remove them from the message if it's in their
blacklist or not in their whitelist".

Can people see any problems with this? Something is nagging me that this
isn't the correct functionality, but I can't see what the right answer is
for definite.
