You can minimise the overhead with a ruleset on the whole MCP process, 
but I would still try your best to implement what you need using 
SpamAssassin Rule Actions. If I had thought of the whole SpamAssassin 
Rule Actions at the time, I would never have implemented MCP at all. 
It's now there, so there's nothing to be gained by removing it, and it 
would really piss off the sites that still use it, so I'm not going to 
do that.
