After my mail I checked on the bugreports and started chewing on the
code, and I can already call an external script. I think having an
explicit way to call a script is a saner way than replacing sendmail
with something smarter.
But maybe one can include an option to suppress the whole message if
the external script returns something != 0 - how would you like
that?
