Then you can write it as a Python/Ruby/Perl policy/Milter extension.
For the past 8 years or so, major features have been implemented
by adding programs, not by constantly tinkering with existing code.
If you can't provide working code, then your efforts will remain
an academic exercise.
There is no shortage of ideas, but there is a shortage of cycles
to ensure that new code does not negatively affect the qualities
of the mail system, including its interface for legitimate users,
its surface for attackers, and its worst-case performance
characteristics.
