Saying 'multi-recipient mail...quarantined for those recipients who...'
is wrong. Quarantining works at a per-message level, not at a per-recipient 
level. There is only one quarantine copy per message regardless of how
many of its recipients considered it spam.

It is unacceptable that one recipient's policy could affect another
by a simple metter of including such recipient in a list of recipients
of a message;  such design will not be implemented.

Doesn't it already work like that? I believe it does, it will
return 5xx if all recipients reject it, otherwise it will return 250
and pass to spam lovers normally, and to spam haters by appending a
"+spam" address extension. Just disable quarantining and you are done.
