Yes, there are. There are also innumerable ways to handle this using
open-source software coupled with MTAs like sendmail, postfix, etc.
But (and I'll try to keep this very short since it's off-topic,
so contact me off-list to discuss) I consider it a major strategic
mistake to attempt this. Per-user exceptions only benefit the enemy.
And under no circumstances should users be permitted to control them:
they're clearly incapable, as they've proven hundreds of millions of
times (if not more) and continue to prove all day every day. See also
